Schneider Electric Champions a Resilient and Sustainable Energy Future at Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2025
At the Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2025, Schneider Electric called on cross-sector collaboration to drive Hong Kong’s journey toward a sustainable and resilient energy future. Edmund Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong, emphasized that technologies such as AI and advanced energy systems are reshaping value creation, operational resilience, and strategic growth across industries.
Accelerating Hong Kong’s Carbon Neutrality Goals
Deputy Secretary for Environment and Ecology Ms. Maisie Wong highlighted Hong Kong’s progress toward carbon neutrality, encouraging stakeholders to leverage emerging technologies and innovation to build a brighter, more resilient, and sustainable future.
French Consul General Ms. Christile Drulhe underscored France’s €22 billion commitment to ecological and digital transformation, aligning with Hong Kong’s 2050 carbon neutrality goal. The collaboration between Schneider Electric, Veolia, and HKUST reflects shared expertise and dedication to developing high-potential green markets.
Innovation in Buildings: Driving Low-Carbon Transformation
Buildings play a pivotal role in Hong Kong’s carbon neutrality roadmap. Schneider Electric demonstrated how digitalization and collaboration can transform building management and retrofit strategies to achieve low-carbon outcomes.
Through its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HKUST, Schneider Electric and the French innovation ecosystem in Hong Kong are jointly supporting campus building energy retrofits and driving technical exchange to reduce building emissions.
Additionally, a pilot project with a leading Hong Kong property developer introduced a DC microgrid energy storage system, minimizing AC-to-DC conversion losses and improving renewable energy utilization.
Cutting-edge solutions like the EcoStruxure Building Data Platform and SpaceLogic™ AI BOX enable centralized data management and AI-driven HVAC optimization, enhancing building efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
Data Centers: Meeting AI-Driven Demands with Efficiency
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping the digital landscape and intensifying demand for high-density, energy-efficient data centers. Schneider Electric is responding with innovations such as liquid cooling systems and advanced power protection solutions.
In partnership with Equinix, Schneider Electric deployed a cabinet-level direct-to-chip liquid cooling CDU system at the HK1 data center, delivering exceptional thermal management and energy optimization without major infrastructure overhauls.
The acquisition of Motivair Corporation further expands Schneider’s liquid cooling portfolio, strengthening its leadership in hyperscale, colocation, and high-density data center environments. Meanwhile, the Galaxy VXL UPS introduces compact, AI-enabled fault tolerance for next-generation critical infrastructure.
Power and Grid Modernization: Towards an SF₆-Free Future
To support Hong Kong’s accelerating energy transition, Schneider Electric unveiled SF₆-free medium-voltage switchgear, using pure air and vacuum technology to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
Through collaboration with a major local utility, Schneider Electric is implementing EcoStruxure ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management System) and DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management System) to enhance grid intelligence, flexibility, and reliability—laying the foundation for a smarter energy future.
EV Charging: Building the Infrastructure for Tomorrow’s Mobility
As Hong Kong accelerates EV adoption, reliable charging infrastructure has become essential for sustainable mobility. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure for eMobility provides a fully integrated ecosystem for scalable EV charging deployment across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
The solution includes both AC and DC chargers, such as the high-performance EVlink Pro DC 720kW fast charger, supported by intelligent load management and digital services to ensure efficient, future-ready EV charging experiences.
Empowering Hong Kong’s Sustainable Transformation Through Innovation
As an industrial automation professional, it’s evident that Schneider Electric’s initiatives go far beyond technology—they represent a unified vision for sustainable progress. By merging automation, electrification, and digital intelligence, Schneider Electric is helping Hong Kong transition toward a cleaner, more resilient, and connected energy future.
