Schneider Electric advances energy intelligence at VivaTech 2026
Schneider Electric outlined its agenda for VivaTech 2026, where its top executives will participate in sessions and meet with technology leaders to discuss energy intelligence.
The company said the programming addresses the pace of change tied to AI and focuses on demand-side efficiency and how organizations manage energy demand. It also referenced a Bloomberg New Economy Energy Technology Coalition case study and two recent AI data-center infrastructure announcements.
Schneider Electric pointed to a “roadmap for energy efficiency technology adoption” tied to the Credit Human case study, which describes rethinking energy demand and long-term value to build a resilient, high-performance headquarters. The company also said it will use the Energy Technology Coalition to connect with startups and other technology leaders on scaling solutions.
Frédéric Godemel, Executive Vice President of Energy Management at Schneider Electric, said, “Mindset is one of the biggest barriers to change,” and added, “Too often, people assume that the solution to ‘not enough energy’ is simply to add more.” The company also said Philippe Rambach, Chief AI Officer, would join a panel on June 17; Esther Finidori, Chief Sustainability Officer, would take part in a June 18 discussion on sovereignty; and Julien Cristiani of SE Ventures would participate in a June 19 conversation. It further stated that SE Ventures, backed by Schneider Electric and supported by Lightrock, Mirova, and World Fund, would host an invitation-only gathering in Paris on June 17.
In addition to the VivaTech agenda, Schneider Electric said it announced a collaboration with Foxconn for integrated, ready-to-deploy solutions to enable customers to build and operate AI infrastructure across regions, and it described its role as a strategic technology and industrial partner in SoftBank’s investment to accelerate AI infrastructure in France.
