Hoping to promote its sustainable healthcare agenda, Siemens has become the first multinational company to independently become the Expo 2010 Global Sponsorship Partner in Shanghai.

"Siemens will apply its know-how to develop and modernize the city's infrastructure and to support the Expo with the latest technologies in the areas of rail transportation, building management and healthcare solutions," said Dr. Klaus Wucherer, member of Siemens' Corporate Executive Committee.

Under an agreement signed with the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, the company will be a "Global Partner for Innovative Infrastructure and Healthcare of Expo 2010 Shanghai China."

Expo 2010, which will take place from May 1 to October 31, 2010, is expected to attract over 70 million visitors from China and around the world. For the host city Shanghai, the exhibition will generate new opportunities for growth as well as major challenges. Siemens says its business portfolio and core competencies can provide everything that Shanghai needs for sustainable urban development and the infrastructure required for major events like Expo 2010: solutions for energy, environmental protection, industrial automation, public infrastructure and healthcare.

"Expo 2010 is a milestone in our partnership. We'd like to express our sincerest thanks to China, the city of Shanghai and, most of all, to the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination for this opportunity to help make the Expo vision – Better City, Better Life – a reality," said Dr. Richard Hausmann, president and CEO of Siemens China.

Since 2001, Siemens says it has been actively assisting and making a major contribution to the preparations for Shanghai's Expo 2010.

"Ever since the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London – the world's first international industrial exposition – Siemens has been actively involved in exposition projects. Altogether, we've participated in and provided valuable technological support for 16 world expositions. That's all the more reason why we're so pleased to be able to contribute our experience and worldwide knowledge once again and help make Expo 2010 the most interesting, the most successful and the most unforgettable world exposition of all times," said Wucherer.
