15 June 2026, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317), the world’s
largest electronics manufacturer, and Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today
announced a strategic collaboration to help define and scale the next
generation of AI data centers.
As AI adoption surges, the demands on digital
infrastructure are being fundamentally reshaped. This collaboration brings
together Foxconn’s unmatched expertise in advanced compute platforms, AI rack
integration, and global manufacturing with Schneider Electric’s leadership in
power systems, cooling, and energy management. Together, the companies aim to
deliver integrated, ready-to-deploy solutions that enable customers to build
and operate AI infrastructure with greater speed, efficiency, and predictability
across regions. Production will begin later this year.
“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 intelligencebecomes 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.”
Through this collaboration, Foxconn and
Schneider Electric will co-develop next-generation reference architectures for
AI data centers. The partnership will also explore innovations in closed-loop
energy optimization, modular power and cooling skids, and standardized design
frameworks, creating repeatable, high-performance blueprints for AI factories
worldwide. By aligning manufacturing excellence with energy intelligence, the
two companies are setting the foundation for a new class of AI infrastructure
that is scalable by design, efficient by default, and ready to meet the
accelerating demands of the AI era.
