Future-ready platforms powered by new technologies and start-ups built on innovation are the keys to solving today’s business obstacles. Schneider Electric’s ‘Innovate to Inspire’ hackathon will bring industry leaders and enthusiasts from across the country together to co-create innovative supply chain solutions.
In line with recent advances, the supply chain industry has an immense potential to grow further, powered by new-age technologies. This initiative will offer an opportunity to partner with Schneider Electric by competing to solve industrial use cases and providing the best solutions. Selected start-ups will get a chance to work with Schneider Electric along with receiving professional mentorship and the opportunity to network and scale themselves up.
Recently, at the Global Sustainable Supply Chain Summit 2021, Schneider Electric was named the Best Global Sustainable Supply Chain Organisation. By placing sustainability at the heart of its current supply chain strategy, known as the STRIVE (2021-2023) program, Schneider Electric plans to have 70 net-zero carbon Plants and Distribution Centers by 2025 and progressively pursue further energy and carbon efficiencies across all of its ~300 manufacturing and warehousing facilities. With this hackathon, Schneider Electric envisages a more sustainable future for the supply chain industry.
