Siemens Vietnam helps local universities

The grant, provided by Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division, will help universities develop the next generation of Vietnamese engineers.

Siemens PLM Software will provide its software to Hanoi University of Technology, Danang University of Technology, Can Tho University, Ho Chi Minh University of TechnicalEducation, and the Ho Chi Minh University of Technology.

Erdal Elver, president and CEO, Siemens Vietnam said: “Siemens is pleased to support the universities with Siemens PLM Software technology in their education programme. This is our commitment to Vietnam as part of our corporate social responsibility. I sincerely wish the programme a very successful start and bring down-to-earth benefits to the participants for their career development.”

HEEAP is developed in collaboration with the government of Vietnam, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Arizona State University Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (ASU), Siemens, and Intel Corporation, and involves top technical universities in Vietnam to advance their electrical and mechanical engineering curricula.

Siemens was represented in Vietnam in 1993, but in order to create a solid basis for enhancing cooperation with local partners, Siemens Ltd. was founded in September, 2002 to provide solutions and services related to Siemens products and systems.

The firm has participated in numerous Vietnam’s infrastructure projects, particularly in all key areas of the economy such as energy, industry, healthcare and transportation. The rapid expansion of its business relations with Vietnam prompted to establish Siemens Automation Systems Limited in 2005 to produce busbar trunking systems.
