Schneider Electric partners with NVIDIA to accelerate the development of large-scale AI factories

Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to meet the growing demand for sustainable, AI-ready infrastructure.

The two parties are accelerating research and development (R&D) initiatives in areas such as power, cooling, controls and high-density rack systems, to support the next generation of AI factories across Europe and globally.

This global partnership, announced at the NVIDIA GTC Paris conference, brings together two world leaders in sustainability and accelerated computing, to support the European Commission’s AI infrastructure ambitions and the “InvestAI” initiative, which plans to mobilize €200 billion in AI investments.

Drawing on expertise in AI-ready infrastructure, sustainability, and grid coordination, Schneider Electric and NVIDIA are jointly responding to the European Commission’s “Pan-European AI Plan,” which aims to establish at least 13 AI factories across Europe, including up to five gigafactories.

“AI is a defining technology, a key factor driving global transformation,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together with Schneider Electric, we are building AI factories, the essential infrastructure that will bring AI to every company, industry, and society.”

Schneider Electric leads the market with advanced technology in energy management and high-performance cooling for Data Centers.

“Together, we have achieved great success in deploying next-generation power and liquid cooling solutions specifically designed for AI data centers,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “Strategic partnerships with leaders in sustainability and accelerated computing allow us to continue to accelerate our momentum, pushing the boundaries of what is possible for future AI workloads.”

As part of this partnership, Schneider Electric also launched a range of AI-ready data center solutions, including new products in the EcoStruxure™ Pod and Rack Infrastructure family. The EcoStruxure Pod modular data center is designed with a scalable pod architecture, enabling rapid deployment of AI data centers globally.

Schneider Electric has developed a new Open Compute Project (OCP)-inspired rack system to support the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform using the NVIDIA MGX modular architecture. This is also the first time Schneider Electric has integrated into the NVIDIA HGX and MGX ecosystem.

Schneider Electric and NVIDIA have also co-developed a series of complete reference designs based on power and liquid cooling systems, with Schneider Electric as an approved NVIDIA CDU (Cooling Distribution Unit) supplier. Many of these designs also incorporate liquid cooling solutions from Motivair, which Schneider Electric acquired in March 2025...
