Siemens RIE Conference

The Siemens RIE Aachen Arc Annual Conference took place on December 7th and 8th – kicking of a new partnership between Siemens and the Collective Incubator. This two-day event focused on sustainable energy and infrastructure, and featured talks and discussions from industry experts such as Dr. Raifa Akkaoui from Delft University of Technology, Matthias Schnieders from Siemens AG, Marco Wirtz from RWTH Aachen University, and Dr. Johannes Fütterer from aedifion.

The conference took place in the Collective Incubator and was aimed at individuals, start-ups, and student initiatives that were interested in sustainability, infrastructure, and energy. Big learnings of the conference were how to combine grid and building technologies in a smart way in order to create a carbon-neutral and energy-efficient world.

News on site

The Collective Incubator is excited to have moved to the second floor at Campus Jahrhunderthalle. This new location allows to better serve the community and create an even more innovative and collaborative environment with a work café and a town hall for community events.

One of the standout features of the new space is the town hall, which has already been frequently used for events like the Siemens RIE Conference. This large event space provides a venue for the community to come together, learn from each other, and share ideas. Another highlight is the Work Cafe, which allows the community to connect better and provides a great place to work, relax, and collaborate with each other.

Moreover, the free to use Maker Space is now partly open to teams in the Collective Incubator community. Current efforts are put on onboarding various teams to the workshop, so that they can start to experiment, build, and create in it as soon as possible. This resource will be an invaluable tool for early-stage tech start-ups and will have significant impact in Aachen’s innovative community.
