Commenting on the upcoming Innovation Day 2021 for Pacific, Ziad Youssef Middle East and Africa Vice President of Secure Power and Segments at Schneider Electric said, “The journey to sustainability begins with digitization.
“Business and IT leaders need to see this as an opportunity to build resilience into their strategy, allowing their company to move towards goals such as net-zero energy, and net-zero carbon.
“While these ambitious targets were once markers of a sustainable business, they are now markers of a smart business.”
There will also be breakout sessions and networking opportunities for IT and data center professionals, IT solution providers, as well as facility managers, electrical consultants, and contractors.
Schneider Electric’s Innovation Day tours hosted up to 8,000 attendees in the previous years. In 2020, the event focused on digitization in building and driving resilience in the wake of the changing landscape.
