Schneider Electric accelerates development and deployment of AI factories with Nvidia
Schneider Electric and Nvidia are working on initiatives for power, cooling, controls, and high-density rack systems to enable the next generation of AI factories across Europe and beyond.
This global partnership, announced during Nvidia GTC Paris, brings together the world leaders in
sustainability and accelerated computing to support the European Union’s AI infrastructure ambitions and its InvestAI initiative, which plans to mobilise a €200 billion investment in AI. Leveraging its expertise in AI-ready infrastructure, sustainability, and grid coordination, Schneider Electric and Nvidia are together responding to the European Commission’s AI Continent Action Plan, which outlines a shared mission to set up at least 13 AI factories across Europe, while establishing up to five AI gigafactories.
“Schneider Electric and Nvidia are not just partners – our teams are driving advanced R&D, co-developing the infrastructure needed to power the next wave of AI factories globally,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric (pictured). “Together, we’ve seen tremendous success in deploying next-generation
power and liquid cooling solutions, purpose-built for AI data centres. This strategic partnership – bringing together the world leaders in sustainability and accelerated computing – allows us to further accelerate this momentum, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for the AI workloads of tomorrow.”
“AI is the defining technology of our time – the most transformative force reshaping our world,” said
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, Nvidia. “Together with Schneider Electric, we are building AI factories: the essential infrastructure that brings AI to every company, industry, and society.”
Schneider Electric and Nvidia have also co-developed a series of full electrical and liquid
cooling-based reference designs as an approved CDU vendor for Nvidia. Through this expanded and deepened strategic partnership, Schneider Electric and Nvidia will continue to accelerate their infrastructure initiatives, fast-tracking new product rollouts and reference designs to build the AI factories of the future.
