Schneider Electric has advocated for more collaboration to increase the uptake of energy technologies and automation solutions at the ongoing World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 (WEF), in Davos, Switzerland.
The annual meeting gathers global leaders from all sectors to address the world’s most urgent challenges. This year, it emphasises stronger collaboration to address geopolitical dynamics, while stimulating growth and stewarding a just energy transition.
According to Schneider Electric, it is firmly aligned with the WEF’s call to action adding that it has long worked across multiple industries and sectors, helping clients and partners reduce environmental impacts along their value chain, while improving efficiency and resilience.
CEO of Schneider Electric, Olivier Blum, said “Sustainability and economic growth can go hand-in-hand. By forging strategic partnerships, companies can leverage innovation and technology at hand to increase their performance while delivering meaningful impacts and a better future for all.”
During the IEA global conference in December 2024, Blum advocated that it is possible to leverage innovations in AI to deliver greater efficiency, resilience, and security simultaneously while ensuring smart and sustainable management.
According to a WEF report, reducing energy usage with existing technologies alone could lower energy intensity by 31 per cent and generate annual savings exceeding $2 trillion USD by 2030. To deploy technology at scale, Schneider Electric emphasises stronger partnerships and enhancing efficiency at the industry level.
Recently, Schneider Electric released two key reports, The Looming Power Crunch: Solutions for Data Centre Expansion in an Energy-Constrained World from its Energy Management Research Centre, and Artificial Intelligence for Energy Transition from its Sustainability Research Institute.
