Dubai, UAE: Schneider Electric has announced its partnership with France Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.

Founded in the French town of Le Creusot in 1836, Schneider Electric’s purpose is to empower all to make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all. The company uses technology and innovation to promote sustainability and mobility, through transforming how electricity is distributed and used.
