(PRESS RELEASE) RUEIL-MALMAISON, 15-Jan-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has announced its active participation in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 (WEF), where it will advocate for increased collaboration and the adoption of innovative technologies to support both business and environmental goals. The company aims to promote energy technologies and automation solutions that drive efficiency while reducing environmental impacts.

The WEF Annual Meeting brings together global leaders from various sectors to address pressing global challenges. This year, the forum will focus on fostering collaboration to address geopolitical issues and guide a fair energy transition. Schneider Electric is aligned with this call to action, emphasizing its long-standing efforts to help clients and partners improve efficiency, resilience, and sustainability across multiple industries.

Schneider Electric recently published two influential reports—The Looming Power Crunch: Solutions for Data Center Expansion in an Energy-Constrained World and Artificial Intelligence for Energy Transition—which provide strategic solutions to the challenges of operating in an energy-constrained world. These reports explore how AI can be integrated into infrastructure to drive decarbonization in the energy sector. Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric, highlighted at the IEA global conference in December 2024 that AI innovations could deliver greater efficiency, resilience, and security while fostering sustainable management.

The company advocates for accelerating the adoption of existing AI technologies, such as AI-powered data center solutions and HVAC systems for buildings, to support the energy transition and the development of smarter industries. According to a WEF report, deploying current technologies could reduce energy intensity by 31% and save over $2 trillion USD annually by 2030. Schneider Electric stresses the importance of strategic partnerships and industry-level collaboration to scale these technologies effectively.

“Economic growth and sustainability are not mutually exclusive,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “By building strong partnerships, companies can leverage innovation to enhance performance while driving meaningful environmental impacts and a brighter future for all.”

At the WEF Annual Meeting, Schneider Electric’s leadership team, including Blum, Chairman Jean-Pascal Tricoire, President of North America Aamir Paul, EVP of Industrial Automation Barbara Frei, CEO of AVEVA Caspar Herzberg, Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Leong, and other executives, will lead panel discussions. These sessions will cover practical implementation strategies, return on investment, and case studies showcasing the benefits of sustainable initiatives.
