Siemens Healthineers to Become Healthineers

According to Siemens, this step further sharpens the focus on executing its strategy: scaling industrial artificial intelligence (AI) by combining the real and the digital worlds. Siemens announced plans to deconsolidate Siemens Healthineers in 2027 by way of a spin-off.

The company advised that the name change to Healthineers requires approval at the Siemens Healthineers annual shareholders’ meeting. The spin-off will be submitted for shareholder approval from both Siemens AG and Siemens Healthineers AG at their respective annual meetings in February 2027.

The brand transition is expected to start after the entry of the spin-off into the German Commercial Register, which will complete the spin-off and deconsolidation from Siemens.

A brand transition agreement has been agreed for a period of 3 years after deconsolidation to allow for a smooth transition, including the re-registration of legal entities and products, advised the company.

“This is the logical next step in a journey we started years ago, and one that has proven hugely successful,” stated Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, in the company’s press release. “Siemens Healthineers has grown from its Siemens roots into a global leader in its own right. It is only natural that this evolution is reflected clearly in how the company presents itself to the outside world. For Siemens, this sharpens our profile as the company that scales AI in the real world. Our unique ability to combine the real and digital worlds makes this possible, accelerating profitable growth.”

Bernd Montag, President and CEO of Siemens Healthineers AG, added, “Siemens is where we have come from and remains an important and treasured part of our heritage. Healthineers is who we are—engineers and pioneers in health care. After the deconsolidation from Siemens, we will write the next chapters of our journey in the Healthineers name and will continue pioneering breakthroughs in health care for everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably.”
