RUEIL-MALMAISON, France, June 17, 2026 – Schneider Electric and Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) are combining AI compute, rack integration, global manufacturing, power systems, cooling, and energy management capabilities to develop and scale AI data center infrastructure. Production is scheduled to begin later this year.
The collaboration will support integrated AI infrastructure deployments across regions, with an emphasis on deployment speed, and efficiency.
“At the pace AI is evolving, the industry requires a new model for how infrastructure is designed, built, and delivered,” said Young Liu, Chairman of Foxconn. “By combining Foxconn’s strength in AI systems and global manufacturing with Schneider Electric’s deep expertise in power and energy, we are creating a path for customers to deploy AI capacity at scale – faster, smarter, and more sustainably.”
“AI demand continues to accelerate, and as compute scales to keep pace, the energy behind it becomes a fundamental enabler,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “If we want to scale AI responsibly, these systems must be connected. This is where energy intelligence becomes essential. At Schneider Electric, we are advancing energy tech to build the most efficient and sustainable AI factories by bringing integrated power, cooling, and digital capabilities into AI data centers. Working with Foxconn, we are helping customers build capacity with real speed, resilience, and efficiency, as energy technology partners to an industry that is firmly entering the era of intelligence.”
As part of the collaboration, Foxconn and Schneider Electric will co-develop next-generation reference architectures for AI data centers. The companies will also explore closed-loop energy optimization, modular power and cooling skids, and design frameworks for AI factory designs.
