Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, will showcase the latest advancements in its AI-Ready solutions portfolio, designed to support next-generation AI factories and large-scale digital infrastructure, during Datacloud Global Congress 2026.
As governments and businesses globally continue to accelerate investments in artificial intelligence (AI) to drive economic growth, AI infrastructure is becoming one of the defining industrial challenges of the decade. According to Morgan Stanley Research, nearly $3 trillion of AI-related infrastructure investment is expected to flow through the global economy by 2028, while Gartner forecasts worldwide AI spending will exceed $2.5 trillion in 2026 alone.
Central to the AI revolution are data centers, which are transforming into the AI factories of the future. As AI workloads become more compute-intensive, operators are facing unprecedented demands around power availability, rack density, cooling and infrastructure resiliency.
Throughout Datacloud Global Congress, which takes place from the 1st to the 4th June 2026, Schneider Electric will demonstrate how organizations can deploy AI-ready infrastructure responsibly through next-generation power architectures, liquid cooling technologies, intelligent software, and digital services.
Keeping pace in the race for AI
On 2nd June at 10.30am, Frédéric Godemel, EVP, Energy Management Business at Schneider Electric, will join executives from Oracle, DATA4, QTS Data Centers and CBRE for the Keynote Panel, entitled 'How is the Data Center Ecosystem Keeping up with AI Demand', to discuss why neocloud's have become the next disrupter in the market, how their deployments differ from hyperscale and enterprise requirements, and how Europe can keep pace in the race for AI.
Additionally, on the 2nd June at 12pm, Schneider Electric will host a panel discussion exploring how operators can de-risk their energy investments via innovative project structures, stronger utility collaboration, and greater engagement with local governments. Thierry Chamayou, Vice President of Cloud and Service Providers in EMEA at Schneider Electric, will join industry experts from GreenScale, Trench Group, Kao Data, JSM Group and Solar Turbines to discuss the strategies needed to support responsible AI infrastructure growth.
"AI is fundamentally reshaping the future of digital infrastructure, creating new demands around power, cooling and resiliency, at unprecedented scale," said Marc Garner, Global President, Cloud and Service Provider Segment, Schneider Electric. "At Datacloud Global Congress, we will demonstrate how collaboration across the ecosystem is enabling the next generation of AI factories and helping organizations build scalable, resilient and sustainable infrastructure, built for the AI era."
Design, build, simulate and operate
On the 1st June at 12pm, Sébastien Cruz-Mermy, VP Datacenter Innovation at Schneider Electric, will lead a technical innovation session focused on the future of AI factories and the infrastructure strategies required to support them.
During the session, Sébastien will explore how ultra-high-density rack design, next-generation DC power delivery architectures and resilient cooling strategies are becoming critical to enabling the future of AI infrastructure at scale. The session comes as Schneider Electric continues to expand its AI infrastructure ecosystem.
Later, Schneider Electric and NVIDIA will also co-host an exclusive invitation-only executive briefing, bringing together senior leaders and industry experts to discuss the evolving landscape of AI-driven infrastructure and explore NVIDIA's 5?Layer Cake framework, including the DSX Blueprint, supported by Digital Twins, that bridge the gap between design, deployment, and operations.
Designed as a high-level executive networking experience, the event will feature strategic discussions focused on how advanced technologies are reshaping data centers and accelerating innovation at...
