Siemens expects to win orders of around $21 billion in the next three fiscal years from government stimulus programs already announced around the globe. Green technologies are expected to account for 40% of this total, which the company hopes will increase the share of revenues from its environmental portfolio. In fiscal 2008, Siemens’ environmental technologies generated revenue of around $26 billion. The company hopes to increase this figure to $35 billion by 2011. Siemens based this forecast on an initial systematic analysis of the largest stimulus programs.
