HONG KONG SAR –
– 13 October 2025 –
, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, concluded
with a call for collaborative innovation to accelerate the city’s transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
The summit welcomed more than 900 industry representatives and distinguished guests, including Miss Diane Wong, Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman of Schneider Electric, and Ms Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau. With the valued support of its
, the summit provided a platform for advancing dialogue on sustainable innovation.
Delivering her speech at the event, the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Miss Diane Wong, spoke about the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s journey towards carbon neutrality and gave examples of Government or stakeholders exploring innovation options under the four strategies of the Climate Action Plan 2050, including the application of artificial intelligence for weather forecasting, building-integrated photovoltaic pilot scheme, energy performance contracting model, hydrogen development, electricity-free cooling technology and use of recycled plastics to produce noise-absorbing meta-materials. She appealed to all to capitalize on advancement in technology and harness innovation, with a view to achieving a bright, resilient and sustainable future.
Ms Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, said, “As the fusion of digital innovation and environmental sustainability is now a global imperative, France dedicates 22 billion euros to support ecological transitions and digital technology. As Hong Kong and France are aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050, the September 11 MoU on energy efficiency signed by Schneider Electric, Veolia and HKUST illustrates France’s wish to share the expertise of its companies with Hong Kong partners and to foster a promising market.”
Mr Jonathan Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong, said, “At Schneider Electric, we see collaborative ecosystems as key drivers of progress. As innovation accelerates, reflected in developments like AI and advanced energy technologies, these ecosystems are reshaping how we create value, strengthen resilience and drive strategic growth. By building strong cross-sector partnerships, we can accelerate the adoption of technology-driven solutions to address Hong Kong’s most pressing sustainability challenges, while ensuring that progress is inclusive and enduring.”
Catalyzing transformation through collaborative innovation
At the summit, Schneider Electric showcased its latest innovations in digitalization, electrification and automation, aimed at helping industries navigate today’s complex energy landscape:
– Buildings
As Hong Kong charts its path towards carbon neutrality, the building sector presents both challenges and opportunities. At the summit, Schneider Electric highlighted how technology and strategic partnerships are transforming the way buildings are managed, retrofitted and optimized to support a low-carbon future.
– Data Centers
The rapid growth of AI is reshaping the digital landscape, driving increased demand for high-density computing and energy-efficient data center infrastructure. To meet these evolving needs, Schneider Electric is advancing innovative technologies – including liquid cooling and advanced power protection — to support more efficient, reliable and scalable operations.
– Power & Grids
As Hong Kong’s energy transition progresses, the demand for future-ready power infrastructure continues to grow. Schneider Electric is introducing its
portfolio which replaces the greenhouse gas SF6 with pure air and vacuum, supporting more sustainable energy infrastructure.
In collaboration with a utility company in Hong Kong, Schneider Electric is advancing smarter grids through integrated solutions such as EcoStruxure Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) and EcoStruxure Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS), aimed at providing smart and flexible network optimization, and futureproofing infrastructure to support Hong Kong’s evolving energy needs.
– EV Charging
Hong Kong is making steady progress in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), supported by strong commitments from both public and private sectors. Ensuring charging infrastructure that is reliable and efficient will be key to supporting long-term growth and meeting future mobility needs.
is Schneider Electric’s integrated architecture designed to support the end-to-end deployment of EV charging infrastructure. It combines
– ranging from AC to DC, including the latest split-type DC fast charger, EVlink Pro DC 720kW – with intelligent
and services to deliver scalable and future-ready charging across residential properties, commercial buildings, fleets, and industrial domains.
