Debate@Go8 Mini: 2026 EABC Mission – Peter Halliday, CEO, Siemens Australia & New Zealand
Back on the European Australian Business Council (EABC) Mission to Europe bus, Go8 CE Vicki Thomson caught up with Peter Halliday, CEO of Siemens Australia and New Zealand, and EABC board member. Siemens has a long history in Australia that goes back all the way to the original telegraph line that linked Darwin to Adelaide in the late 19th century. And that collaboration and innovation is stronger than ever today – a great example of which is Siemen’s Fusesaver – a vacuum circuit-breaker invented in Australia, that almost instantly cuts the power to powerlines, helping prevent bushfires. Fusesaver is manufactured in both Berlin and Australia and exported to more than 35 countries. Recorded June 2026.
