Schneider Electric has reinforced its commitment to train one million students by 2025 through a strategic partnership with Enactus, an international nonprofit organisation. This initiative is designed to empower young leaders to leverage innovation and business ideas to create a sustainable future for all.

The partnership with Enactus, signed in 2023, aims to build entrepreneurial skills and foster sustainable development among young people for impact and transformation.

Through this collaboration, Schneider Electric supports three key initiatives: the Core Program, the Battery Innovation Challenge, and a dedicated Mentorship Programme. These initiatives are significantly making an impact, as thousands of youths are creating innovative solutions for daily problems in their communities.

This was displayed at the Enactus national finale competition held at the Civic Centre, where 12 out of 30 tertiary institutions qualified to present their solutions across the Core Program and Battery Innovation Challenge categories. Schneider Electric sponsored the Battery Innovation Challenge and awarded grants to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners: The Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), Benue State University, and Kaduna Polytechnic, recognising their outstanding contributions to sustainable energy solutions.

These grants will enable Enactus student teams to refine their pilot projects based on community feedback and provide access to laboratories, technical experts, and other resources necessary to advance their initiatives.
