Imagine Intuitive Digitized Industries!

 

Finalist start-ups will have the amazing opportunity to pitch their project in front of Schneider Electric’s top management and executives at the Schneider Electric Innovation Summit in Paris in early April, and maybe even see their solutions developed in the near future!

So, #WhatsYourBoldIdea?

 
 

Are you ready for Intuitive Digitized Industries?

Industries and supply chains are becoming increasingly digitized and connected. Horizontal software has become part of the asset lifecyle and acts as the foundation of vertical IIoT services for the operations lifecycle. The complex ecosystem is simplified by business platforms that enable direct interactions between the various players.

 
Digital Lifecycle Management:
end-to- end software and IIoT services bring efficiency in CapEx and OpEx cycles

  

Ecosystem built on renewed partner network:
automation distributors, technology partners, system integrators, developers...

 

From increasing levels of connectivity to changes in how we design, commission, operate and optimize machines and plants, the way business used to be done is becoming out of date. With this in mind, Schneider Electric is challenging you to tackle one of the themes below, which have been identified as important topics for the years to come.

 

Choose the theme you want to tackle

Bear in mind that your project will need to focus on solutions that can be applied in hybrid segments (Water & Wastewater, Food & Beverage, Minerals, Metals & Mining, Pharmaceutical), and their associated machines (Packaging, Hoisting, Material working, Material handling, F&B machinery, Pumping, HVAC, etc.).
