Siemens PLM Grant to Japan School Worth $725M
 TOKYO
and PLANO, Texas, Oct 30, 2007 - Siemens PLM Software, a division of Siemens
Automation and Drives (A&D) and a leading global provider of product
lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced in-kind
software grants with a commercial value of US$725 million to top educational
institutions and training centers in Japan to help produce a ready-made
employment base for Japanese manufacturers.
Siemens PLM Software made the series of grants to 393 Japanese schools
over the past 5 years. As a result of its investment and partnership with
Japanese schools, 36,000 undergraduate and graduate college and university
students now have direct access to Siemens PLM Software’s world-class PLM
software.
“Education and training are critical factors in maintaining Japan’s
economic leadership in the world,” said Dr. Tamotsu Murakami, professor,
Design Engineering Laboratory, Department of Engineering Synthesis, the
University of Tokyo. “We salute Siemens PLM Software for their work in the
engineering and manufacturing fields and we know that the training our
students receive is top notch. Students who receive educational training on
3D CAD systems have clear advantages. These students are given chances to be
engaged in the real work and earn unsurpassed experiences during internship
opportunities they may have prior to graduation and, in turn, receive
advanced standing placement within companies as they begin their careers.”
Technologists and engineers at many leading companies already use the
skills and knowledge they acquired through training on Siemens PLM
Software’s technology in their product innovation efforts.
“It requires some practice to get used to the CAD software at a company
if it is different from what you have been trained on at school,” said
Hideki Miyamoto, Tokyo University graduate and now a member of a leading
machinery manufacturer in Japan. “The ample experience I had using 3D CAD at
the University of Tokyo proved beneficial when carrying out design work at
my job.”
“We recognize the need for a skilled workforce – it’s a global need that
we want to help manufacturers actively address,” said Hans-Kurt Lubberstedt,
senior vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific, Siemens PLM
Software. “We are committed to our partnership with Japan’s leading
engineering schools to help develop world-class engineers and technologists.
We’re proud to be involved in their strong academic curricula and we’re glad
to see so many students experiencing success following graduation.”

Product Lifecycle Management (GO PLM) initiative, which leads the PLM
