Do you have an idea to revolutionize energy usage? Join our international case challenge and make energy in the city more intelligent!

25-06-2020

Take the opportunity to create an idea for intelligent energy management in the city! Energy has become scarce, expensive and is undergoing a technology revolution. Increasing needs for electrical power must be balanced with social progress and environmental protection. As a global specialist in energy management, Schneider Electric makes the most of energy innovation opportunities. This is your chance to be a part of it!

Pair up with a team-mate to apply. Show us a creative presentation of your idea for intelligent energy solutions in the city. Your team should consist of two university-level students (2nd to final year), at least one of whom is a woman. Students from Brazil, China, Germany, France, India, Poland, Russia, Turkey and the USA are eligible to enter the competition.

The 100 best teams will be asked to create a synopsis of a business case for their idea with the help of a mentor from Schneider Electric. These teams are guaranteed interviews for internships and exposure to job opportunities.

The 25 best teams will be invited to the city of light, Paris, in June 2012 to make their final presentations in front of a VIP panel of judges. The winning team will travel the world, stopping at Schneider Electric offices on the way, and be offered a job.

Deadline for submitting your entry to the competition is March 1, 2012. Pre-register now to get all the latest updates! Full competition details and rules at
