President Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Siemens Healthineers

I am honored to have participated yesterday in a visit of the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, at the Siemens Healthineers premises in Erlangen. Led by Siemens Healthineers’ CEO Bernd Montag and Erlangen workers council head Stephan Büttner, the delegation around Chancellor Scholz was impressed by our high-tech manufacturing approach and the breakthrough innovations in photon-counting CT, low-Helium MR and AI-based technologies and clearly saw the potential they hold for improving outcomes in patient care. The future developments of AI-based digital twins of personalized #diagnosis and #therapy, e.g. in lung and liver #cancer or in coronary artery disease completed the visit in the context of #digitalization. After this, many of my colleagues from Siemens Healthineers appreciated a townhall meeting with an inspiring keynote from the Chancellor including a very open discussion. It was well received, how chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized the importance and innovativeness of the industrial healthcare sector, and especially MedTech, in Germany and its role in Europe and worldwide. The use of health data and AI-based solutions show great potential for patients. In order to develop #AI for the benefit of patients and the corresponding value creation in #Germany and #Europe, #innovation drivers such as Siemens Healthineers need access to large data lakes with curated and high-quality data. #EU and the German government are moving into the right directions with respective legislations. Healthcare should remain a crucial priority on the EU agenda and promote a stable innovation environment and regulatory framework that consistently prioritizes progress in precision medicine and healthcare access. We at Siemens Healthineers recognize our responsibility to draw attention to the pressing challenges in #healthcare and to actively participate in shaping digital and sustainable health care delivery. We are continuously investing in our German locations with a total volume of about 600 million in the last 4 years. As a result, Siemens Healthineers is clearly committed to Germany and is supporting the ongoing economic transformation and changing requirements of a more resilient healthcare system. We see the necessity to strengthen the industrial healthcare sector as a building block for a resilient and strong economy. Therefore, a strategy of the German government for the whole industrial healthcare sector (medtech, biotech and pharma) is required. #digitalTwin #healthcareaccess Marie-Alix Ebner von Eschenbach
