Schneider Electric Positions Demand-Side Energy Efficiency at Center of AI Infrastructure Debate
The company will showcase case studies, executive panels and a private investor gathering to promote energy intelligence as a way to cut costs and carbon for AI data centers.
Overview
- Schneider announced its VivaTech program, naming executives who will speak on energy and AI and outlining sessions that translate technical roadmaps into industry conversation.
- A featured session, 'Hungry AI: Fixing the Energy Conundrum,' will pair Schneider’s Chief AI Officer with leaders from the International Energy Agency and major energy firms to examine the energy demand of AI workloads.
- Schneider tied the VivaTech program to recent commercial moves, reiterating its role as a strategic technology partner in SoftBank’s France AI infrastructure initiative and a collaboration with Foxconn to deliver integrated AI infrastructure solutions.
- SE Ventures, Schneider’s €1 billion venture fund, is hosting an invitation-only investor–entrepreneur event in Paris to connect startups and investors working on energy-efficient hardware, controls and services.
- The company highlighted a Bloomberg New Economy Coalition case study on Credit Human that uses Schneider-backed research to show practical demand-side measures—like smarter controls, electrification and system design—that can boost resilience, lower operating costs and reduce carbon for large buildings and data centers.
