A key element of this collaboration is the deployment of advanced AI-enabled software, sensors, and real-time control systems for factory automation to meet the growing demand for reliable semiconductors and autonomous platforms. Through centralized automation and predictive maintenance, GF and Siemens aim to increase equipment availability and improve operational efficiency in chip production, creating capabilities that can be extended to other advanced industries. The companies intend to develop and implement new solutions in their own operations to deliver enhanced products.
This expanded collaboration comes at a time of unprecedented demand for essential semiconductors and autonomous platforms in critical areas such as artificial intelligence, defense, energy, and connectivity. By joining forces and contributing new capabilities, Siemens and GF can support accelerated growth, increased safety and reliability, and amplify their impact across the industry.

“Our economy runs on silicon—one wafer at a time. Chips are essential for applications like robotics, connectivity, and bringing AI to the physical world and industry. We are collaborating to make global semiconductor supply chains more resilient and enable efficient local manufacturing around the world,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Executive Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries.
“Secure, locally manufactured semiconductors are at the heart of the AI ​​transition—from the cloud to the physical world, bringing intelligence to the devices we use every day and enabling applications that were unimaginable just a few years ago,” said Tim Breen, CEO of GlobalFoundries. “Our unique collaboration with Siemens allows us to move faster and build the technologies that make this possible: differentiated, energy-efficient, connected, and secure chips for a wide range of next-generation applications.”
Siemens brings a comprehensive suite of industrial, energy, building automation, and digitalization technologies, including advanced software for chip design and manufacturing, factory automation, and product lifecycle management. Leveraging Siemens solutions, GF and Siemens will enable seamless collaboration throughout the entire semiconductor lifecycle and deliver high-performance, high-reliability solutions at scale.
GF, together with MIPS—a GF group company and a global leader in RISC-V processor IP—brings unique process technology and design capabilities to accelerate the development and manufacturing of customized solutions that support Siemens' goal of enabling large-scale autonomous platforms and physical AI chips. GF ​​is one of the world's leading semiconductor foundries. The publicly traded US company operates manufacturing facilities in the US, Asia, and Europe. In Dresden, GlobalFoundries manages Europe's largest semiconductor production facility, employing approximately 3,000 people.
