The winners of Techcellence Awards for Realize LIVE Americas 2025 receiving their recognition live on stage at the event
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today the winners of its second annual Techcellence Awards. Launched in 2024 and continuing at Realize LIVE Americas 2025 in Detroit, Siemens’ Techcellence Awards brings recognition to companies and individuals that are empowering change through transformation and sustainability, as well as individuals who are leading through innovation and acting as a champion for digital technology and sharing their knowledge with the Siemens community. Winners are awarded VIP attendance passes for Realize LIVE 2026, which will take place in June 2026 in Detroit.
“Every day, our customers are writing the future of industry through groundbreaking digital innovations. The Siemens' Techcellence Awards shine a spotlight on these pioneers who aren't just embracing transformation – they're leading it,” said Robert Jones, chief revenue officer, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “From sustainable solutions to revolutionary applications of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, these visionaries are building a powerful community that extends far beyond America. They're not just changing industries; they're changing the world,"
The Sustainability Impact award celebrates an organization that demonstrates exceptional commitment to sustainability by leveraging Siemens technologies to drive positive environmental and social impact. It recognizes organizations that have used Siemens’ technologies to integrate decarbonization and energy efficiency practices to yield measurable impacts across the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Emissions Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
Siemens is happy to announce the 2025 Sustainability Impact award recipient is BorgWarner Inc. headquartered in Auburn Hills, MI. BorgWarner is a transformative global product leader delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, designing and manufacturing components and systems for nearly every major automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the world. They bring electrified mobility innovations to market, while maintaining their strong foundational business of emissions-reducing and fuel-efficient combustion technology, resulting in a broad portfolio of electric, hybrid, and combustion vehicle technology. BorgWarner's vision is a clean, energy-efficient world, and they are driving toward their goal of carbon neutrality in their operations by 2035.
The Digital Transformation award recognizes a sustainable digital enterprise that fully integrates digital technologies while driving transformation in new and innovative ways to achieve digital objectives and streamline processes faster, easier and at scale. Siemens celebrates this organization for a clear strategic vision for digital transformation by using Siemens' solutions and aligning technology initiatives with long-term goals and objectives.
SENAI is Latin America's largest professional and technological education institution, training over 2.3 million workers annually. SENAI-ISI demonstrated a clear strategic vision for digital transformation through their leadership in the Techub project, a pioneering initiative focused on the smart manufacturing of lithium batteries in Brazil. Their vision is evident in the alignment of current initiatives with long-term goals of building a closed-loop, digitally enabled manufacturing ecosystem and the establishment of the first national lithium battery production line, enabling the local manufacturing of 140 battery units (12V and 48V) for hybrid electric vehicles.
The Community Champion award recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond by sharing his or her expertise with Siemens technology. The Siemens community champion exhibits exemplary community leadership through their substantial public contributions. This award honors an individual who helps peers by sharing their knowledge by providing answers, speaking at events and creating publications while championing Siemens products and providing valuable feedback and insight to make the products better. The Siemens community champion exhibits exemplary community leadership through their substantial public contributions.
Peter Mendez, Solution Architect at General Atomics, is a Mendix Solution Architect and part of the Mendix Pioneer Program. He has been programming since 1996 in various languages like Java, C#, Javascript, Python and G-Code and is a top-contributor in the Mendix community, offering perspectives and advice to other customers.
The Innovation Leader award honors Siemens’ customers who exemplify creativity and forward-thinking by driving transformative change within their industries. These trailblazers are generating groundbreaking ideas, products or processes that redefine what is possible. We recognize and celebrate these customers that leverage Siemens technologies and solutions to drive organizational progress.
Sibo Chou, Systems Engineer at Northrop Grumman, pioneered the integration of Siemens’ Process Simulate with motion capture technology to create the Highly Immersive Virtual Environment (HIVE), enabling engineers to conduct early feasibility assessments and sustainability-focused designs in a virtual setting, before any physical production begins. Chou collaborated with Siemens to enhance the fidelity of motion simulations, allowing for more accurate and realistic virtual prototyping. The deployment of HIVE across Northrop Grumman has led to significant improvements in product development processes. Engineers can now identify design issues such as reaching limitations and tooling requirements early in the development cycle, reducing time to market and minimizing costly rework.
Finalists and winners for Techcellence Europe will be announced at Realize LIVE Europe, held in Amsterdam, June 30th to July 2nd.
