Schneider Electric, recently announced that it became the founding partner of the Internet of Things (IoT) Chair, launched by ESCP Europe at the start of the academic year 2016-2017. The Chair is dedicated to supporting students, companies and research professors in investigating and researching business and management issues related to digitization and the development of connected devices. Valeo, leading global automotive supplier, is also a founding partner of the Chair.
*With this collaboration, Schneider Electric is shaping the connected technologies of tomorrow, their business models and usages
Chair IoT (Internet of Things) developed in partnership with Valeo and Schneider Electric, aims to develop a better understanding of business and managerial issues related to the digital evolution and the development of connected objects.
Creating
IoT innovative business models and management practices
The new Chair at ESCP
Europe,
internationally acclaimed business school, will focus research on responses to
the IoT revolution from a business perspective: How do we create value for
users? What are the different potential business models? How to monetize data
from connected products and share value between the different partners?
Stimulating
new ideas
Schneider Innovation at Every Level harnesses the power
and promise of the Internet of Things to reshape cities, transform industries
and enrich lives through connected products, edge control, and apps, analytics
and services. Schneider Electric leverages its expertise in the operational
technology (OT) that controls our society’s most important processes and
connects it to the information technology (IT) that we rely on to simplify our
lives and make better decisions. This approach, which Schneider Electric refers
to as building Operational Intelligence, generates actionable information to
drive informed decision-making in our homes, our industries, our data centers,
our buildings and our cities.
As
founding partner of the Chair, Schneider Electric strongly believes next
innovative technologies & services will emerge from information sharing and
open collaboration between stakeholders. In this respect, the Chair offers the
opportunity to take advantage of the dynamic of a world renowned business
school, its network and the vision of its teaching staff and speakers, and to
draw upon the quality of its research laboratories to optimize the process of
researching business models that are durable and profitable for all. It also
enables Schneider Electric to partner Valeo, a major industrial group, in order
to share and collaborate on usages of connected technologies and create
synergies.
Inspiring
new IoT talents
The
Chair is also an opportunity for Schneider Electric to raise awareness among
students from a leading business school about the crucial role of IoT in the
world of tomorrow and its implications for business. This new outlook on IoT
may lead them to work in partnership with the Group’s R&D centers and
benefit from some of their research.
The
Chair curriculum will include 120 hours of English classes open to students
from the school, starting in January 2017. On graduation, students will receive
a Certificate of Connected Business that recognizes the quality of their IoT
course. For Schneider Electric, these diplomas will represent a pool of very
well-trained talent, ready to innovate and implement their skills in a
stimulating environment.
The official launch of the
Chair on October 20th 2016 was accompanied by a morning of study on the topic:
“Creating value, new economic models and use values” that took place at the
Parisian campus of ESCP Europe.
