Review history

As early as 1996, Siemens AG presented a full set of current enterprise standards to the then State Bureau of Technical Supervision, opening exchanges and dialogue between the two sides. In 1997, the two sides signed the first memorandum of cooperation and formally established the cooperative relationship. The mou has been renewed five times in more than 20 years, and practical cooperation has been carried out in several key areas, such as energy conservation, emission reduction and resource utilization, standardized education services and strategic research, smart cities and information technology, and sustainable community development.
