Siemens signs MoU with HCT

The Higher Colleges of Technology signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Siemens and architect firm Daniel Libeskind to design and fit out HCT Innovation City, an academic and technological hub that will be the future home to Abu Dhabi Men’s College, CERT, and HCT’s Central Services division.

Siemens, as the technology partner of choice, will contribute to the project with solutions that add more value and efficiency in buildings through sustainable technology. Siemens will overall integrate sub-systems of latest technologies such as building automation and security systems, smart grid, students and faculty processes, e-Learning, connectivity, and potential green energy generation.

Under the agreement the parties will also use their substantial international connections to invite and involve world class research and development companies, involved in cutting edge technologies and solutions in sustainable development and building technologies, to establish their centers within the HCT Innovation City.
