Dubai – Schneider Electric has announced its partnership with France Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. As part of the collaboration, Schneider Electric will showcase building and energy management solutions as part of France’s focus on innovation in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDGs that relate to affordable and clean energy, industry, innovation, and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities and climate action.

Founded in the French town of Le Creusot in 1836, Schneider Electric’s purpose is to empower all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all. The company uses technology and innovation to promote sustainability and mobility, through transforming how electricity is distributed and used. Schneider Electric will be showcasing the best of its innovation from France and around the world at the France Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai through on-site demonstrations.

Visitors to the France Pavilion will be able to see and experience how technology can play a vital role in furthering sustainability. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert software and sensor hardware will monitor and analyse the building’s energy usage and carbon emissions, providing insights into the building’s energy and carbon efficiency and the equivalent of trees saved. Using concepts such as Internet of Things and distributed intelligence, this solution will help the France Pavilion maximize uptime and energy efficiency.
