Siemens opens new apprentice center in Vienna
Siemens Austria opened a new training center for its apprentices on Thursday in Vienna-Floridsdorf. CEO Patrizia Neumann and Vienna's Mayor Michael Ludwig praised the excellent and decades-long collaboration between the local subsidiary of the German technology group and the federal capital during a ceremonial act. Together, they are even developing entire districts, for example in matters of environmentally friendly mobility.
Ludwig: "We will need immigration"
Siemens employs 300 apprentices across Austria, 130 of whom are in Vienna. They are the backbone of skilled worker training, and many women and men with a migration background are very committed here. "We will need immigration," said the mayor. Vienna has gone from being the state with the oldest average population to now being the youngest state. Vienna has been the only state with economic growth for two years, and this will remain the case this year.
A solid education is important for career starters, not least because apprentices also perform partially dangerous tasks. To this, Michael Ludwig shared a joke: "What are the last words of an electrician? - I have the right cable."
AI Gigafactory: Confidence in Vienna's Bid
Regarding future projects, the mayor stated that they have applied for the European AI Gigafactory and are awaiting the award. He confidently added: "Which we will get." In June of this year, the city of Vienna announced that it is committed to the construction of one of the planned EU data centers for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal is the development and operation of modern AI models. Up to five billion euros are needed for the setup, with a good third to be financed by the public sector.
