Schneider Electric advances energy intelligence at VivaTech 2026PARIS, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced its agenda for VivaTech 2026, Europe’s largest startup and tech event, where its top executives will take the stage to discuss the new rules of innovation and the energy technology needed to keep pace with the acceleration of AI. While at the event, Schneider Electric executives will meet with tech leaders to share insights and collaborate on energy intelligence solutions. A roadmap for energy efficiency technology adoption The Bloomberg New Economy Energy Technology Coalition launched a case study on Credit Human, illustrating how the Texas-based credit union created a resilient, high-performance headquarters by rethinking both energy demand and long-term value. Backed by Schneider Electric’s research and expertise, the case study offers a roadmap for deploying the energy technology needed for the new energy landscape. “Mindset is one of the biggest barriers to change,” said Frédéric Godemel, Executive Vice President of Energy Management at Schneider Electric. “Too often, people assume that the solution to ‘not enough energy’ is simply to add more. The reality is that we also need to consider demand-side efficiency. Misconceptions around cost, complexity, and payback are holding back progress on resilient AI-powered infrastructure and electrification. Through the Energy Technology Coalition, we’re proving that the technologies to build intelligent, resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy systems already exist. Today’s challenge is to rethink how we manage energy demand. At VivaTech, we’re partnering with tech leaders and startups to scale solutions faster, powering sustainable AI growth and more affordable energy.” Presence on the ground Schneider Electric executives will take part in a series of sessions and events at VivaTech 2026:
June 17 | 2-2:45 pm CET | Purple Stage
