Schneider Electric Seeks Youth Projects For Sustainable Future

Schneider Electric has asked youths across the globe to proffer innovative project ideas that would drive a sustainable future as it marks 25 years of its foundation.

The firm recently launched a global campaign call for youth applications, titled ‘Youth Innovation For A Sustainable Future’, to celebrate and award impactful, innovative youth projects committed to building a fairer, low-carbon society.

Cluster President, Anglophone Africa, Schneider Electric, Devan Pillay, said, “Through the Foundation’s ongoing, impactful initiatives such as the Energy Technical Training and New Skills for the Future and Innovation programmes, the youth is encouraged to work towards a sustainable future for all; it is a tremendous and admirable goal, and we look forward to the entries from the African continent.”

Following his statement, the country president, of Schneider Electric, Ajibola Akindele, said, “Positive initiatives to tackle growing social and environmental challenges are driven by young people from around the world. In Nigeria, we have witnessed a note-worthy surge of youth driving these social and environmental projects.

“At Schneider Electric, we are enthusiastic about supporting our youths as they lead the energy transition,” he said. The call for applications focuses on professional engagement and a fair transition, to select 25 of the most impactful innovative youth projects across all five continents (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East).’’
