Today, Schneider Electric’s China Automation R&D Center was officially opened in Wuxi, becoming the fifth largest R&D center of Schneider Electric in China after Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xi ‘an and Beijing. The Wuxi R&D center will first focus on the development of next-generation core industrial automation products, establish an innovation system that integrates hardware and software, and inject more businesses including energy management automation in the future. This is not only a strategic move of Schneider Electric to continuously strengthen the “China Hub”, but also further demonstrates the confidence and determination of Schneider Electric to deeply participate in China’s high-quality development and continue to help enterprises achieve efficiency and sustainability.
With its roots in China for 36 years, Schneider Electric has always adhered to the “multi-center” strategy, continuously increased its investment in China, and continuously strengthened the construction of “China Center”. Based on the local team, Schneider Electric has established an agile innovation mechanism covering R&D, industrial chain, partners, etc., so as to get closer to the Chinese market faster and better, and meet the needs of local users. At the same time, the “China Center” makes full use of China’s industrial advantages, innovation driving force and talent advantages to serve the global market with research and development results, and realize the development vision of “in China for China, in China for the world”.

“China has already become Schneider Electric’s second largest market, largest supply chain base and one of the four largest R&D bases in the world, as well as an important source of innovation.” Hu Xiao, senior vice president of Schneider Electric and head of Industrial Automation Research and Development Center in China, said: “Adhering to the principle of ‘local demand, local innovation, local research and development, global empowerment’, Schneider Electric China Automation R&D Center will share the platform and resources with the global R&D center, build products and solutions with international quality at the Chinese speed, and continue to build an industrial ecology integrating research, production, supply, marketing and service. Gather industrial talents, with more agile innovation organization and more powerful local collaborative innovation, to continuously export Chinese wisdom to the world, so that Chinese innovation can empower local users and at the same time go to the larger world stage.”
Zhang Jinwei, deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee, deputy director of the Management Committee, deputy Secretary of the Xinwu District Party Committee and district governor of Wuxi High-tech Zone, said: “At present, Wuxi High-tech Zone has been deeply implementing the strategy of industrial strength and the core strategy of innovation drive, and has always been adhering to the deployment and layout of the innovation chain around the industrial chain. Schneider Electric China Automation R&D Center has settled in Wuxi, which is a demonstration that Wuxi High-tech Zone has strengthened the innovation engine and created the highland of independent innovation. Facing the future, Wuxi High-tech Zone will, as always, support Schneider Electric’s innovative development. With the opening of Wuxi R&D Center as a new starting point, we will work closely together to accelerate the pace of strategic synergy, improve the level of industrial synergy, expand the depth of innovation synergy, and make greater contribution to promoting the high-quality development of modern industry.
