“If you don’t focus on China,

I can barely get my work done.”

8I74T400400.010-1 Whether it is the energy transition or the circular economy, China’s industries are opening up new and ambitious opportunities. As the most local global enterprise, Schneider Electric naturally attaches great importance to the broad prospects of the Chinese market.

“We are focused on the Chinese market. At present, the largest R&D team and manufacturing team in my business field are all in China. I could hardly have done my job without focusing on China. It’s a very big market.” “Said Goofy.

In his view, the Chinese market is very special for Schneider Electric, and the model of developing together with local partners is unique in the global market. “We are confident in the local supply market, and Schneider Electric will focus primarily on core technology and digital innovation, which can help our partners deploy solutions.” Through an ecological network with numerous partners, Schneider Electric integrates technology and digital elements into the solutions of our partners to serve the market together.”

Returning to China after four years, Goofy was also deeply impressed by China’s level of innovation. During his visits to companies, he witnessed the innovative capabilities unleashed by China in cutting-edge areas such as energy storage and electric vehicle charging, as well as the latest achievements of Schneider Electric’s efforts to explore the boundaries of innovation with local partners in China – in early March, Schneider 8I74T400400.010-1 Electric entered into a partnership with Mizuki Mingtao (Damao) Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., LTD. As Schneider Electric’s first full-process optimization business from green electricity to green hydrogen and then to green ammonia in the world, the two parties will open up power and process flow based on digital twin technology, and explore the optimization of the full process from green electricity to green hydrogen and then to green ammonia through dynamic co-simulation and simulation of electric hydrogen and ammonia.

In Goofy’s words, “such a heavy project is the first to land in China. It is not only a recognition of Schneider Electric’s cutting-edge exploration capabilities, but also an interpretation of the huge potential of China’s renewable energy industry.” In his view and that of many members of the management team in China, China’s visa-free policy for many European countries is also a sign of China’s active opening up and promoting global cooperation. With these as footnotes, the future of Schneider Electric and China, anything is possible.
