School-enterprise cooperation enables young people to grow up

The popularity of this year’s competition is inseparable from the increasing popularity of the concept of sustainable development. After the “3060” dual-carbon goal was proposed, green low-carbon has become a key path for all industries to achieve high-quality development, and the new power system plays an important role in the transformation. As a global expert in digital transformation in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric has made sustainability a core part of its strategy since 2002 and is now helping to build new power systems with innovative green products and leading digital solutions. Therefore, Schneider Electric not only has its own expertise and the theme of the competition coincide, but also has the full ability to provide various support for the competition.

“Cooperation between industry, university and research is an important part of Schneider Electric’s sustainable development strategy. Over the years, we have practiced our corporate social responsibility and initiated a series of talent training initiatives, including holding or supporting innovation and entrepreneurship competitions in universities.” “This year, the combination of the regular track and the corporate track has provided students with a larger competition platform, promoted more opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between schools and enterprises, and laid a solid foundation for the competition to further enhance its appeal and influence,” said Wang Jie, vice president, corporate affairs and sustainable development head of Schneider Electric China.

As a global event to promote sustainable development with young people, Go Green has attracted more than 160,000 students from 200 countries since its inception in 2011. This year, Schneider Electric combined Go Green with the “University Electrical and Electronic Engineering Innovation Competition” in the mode of school-enterprise cooperation to open up a new enterprise track, providing a platform for college students to play green ideas and strengthen innovative application and practical ability.

Since its roots in China 36 years ago, Schneider Electric has always been committed to empowering local talent development. Through school-enterprise cooperation, Schneider Electric continues to deepen the talent training model of the integration of production and education, and help college students grow into professionals in the fields of energy management, intelligent manufacturing, green and low-carbon. So far, Schneider Electric has reached cooperation with more than 100 universities and higher vocational colleges, and nearly 12,000 teachers and students carry out study and research in Schneider Electric joint laboratories every year, providing impetus for the development of various industries with technological innovation. At the same time, the “French Schneider Electric Green low-carbon production and Education Integration Project” jointly carried out by Schneider Electric and China Education Association for International Exchange has covered 35 higher vocational and application-oriented undergraduate colleges and universities, and continues to provide applied talents for the society.

Zhang Lei, vice president of Schneider Electric and head of digital services business in China, said, “Any enterprise transformation and industrial upgrading cannot be without talent to inject momentum into it. It’s great to see Go Green successfully combined with the competition and come to fruition. I hope we can continue to work together in the future to cultivate more innovative talents for China’s scientific and technological progress, industrial upgrading and social development.”
