On June 28, the opening ceremony of the fourth season of the Green Smart Manufacturing Win-Win Program hosted by the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Schneider Electric was held in Beijing. Since the start of recruitment in April, the fourth-quarter green smart manufacturing win-win plan has attracted more than 200 small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on high-tech fields to apply. 9 companies were selected for the acceleration camp, and 4 companies were selected for the growth camp. Partners such as Chuangda, Amazon Cloud Technology, and Tsinghua University Global Industry Research Institute attended the opening ceremony to witness the start of the innovation journey of the new season's entrants.

Pang Xingjian, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric and head of the industrial automation business in China, said: "Since 2020, the Green Smart Manufacturing Win-Win Program has been held for four consecutive seasons, attracting more than 570 small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on high-tech fields to sign up. Nearly 50 companies have entered the stage of joint innovation solutions, covering 25 industrial scenarios, becoming a benchmark for open innovation in the industry, and contributing to the integrated development of large and medium-sized enterprises and industrial digital transformation. Looking forward to new companies entering the business together with Schneider Electric and partners , in the process of joint innovation, constantly develop new technologies and new applications, win new competitive advantages in new fields and new tracks, accelerate the implementation of innovation in industry, and promote industrial digitalization and low-carbon transformation.

Mao Tao from the International Cooperation Department of the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said: "At present, China is committed to promoting new industrialization and transforming towards green, intelligent, and high-end. The 'Green Smart Manufacturing Win-win Plan' is closely linked to The two global trends of green and intelligence are committed to helping more companies enter the ranks of high-end. This year is the third "Green Smart Manufacturing Win-Win Program" jointly organized by the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Schneider Electric ', hoping to rely on this open, innovative, and win-win platform, together with Schneider Electric, to empower small and medium-sized enterprises and help them develop with high quality."

The two camps go hand in hand, create together, and go to the future together

This year's Green Smart Manufacturing Win-Win Plan continues the "dual-operating model" of Acceleration Camp + Growth Camp, and join hands to create and advance together: the Acceleration Camp recruits small and medium-sized enterprises to jointly create PoC solutions; the Growth Camp brings together outstanding Acceleration Camp companies from the previous season, Focus on the landing and scale of PoC joint innovation solutions.

The nine accelerator companies have professional technology and strong R&D capabilities in their respective tracks. In the next six months, they will focus on four new application scenarios including municipal, electric power, zero-trust architecture, and logistics. Emerging technology fields such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and information security have launched innovative explorations to create industry-leading joint innovation solutions that can be implemented and replicated. In addition, this year, a new track focusing on "green and smart supply chain" will be added. Entering companies will start from the actual needs of the industry and explore the application of AI technology in the field of green and smart supply chain.

At the same time, Shanghai Jingteng Information Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hongpu Information Technology Co., Ltd., Rediscovery (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Collaborative Innovation Smart Water Co., Ltd. stood out from the acceleration companies in the previous quarter to form this year's They will focus on the implementation of the Lianchuang program, focusing on "virtual maintenance system for key industrial equipment", "intelligent analysis and quality control system for cement clinker lithofacies", "experts in traffic dispatching and warehouse management", "sewage treatment Optimize the four high-potential joint innovation projects of the control system, integrate into real industrial scenarios such as equipment manufacturing, metallurgy, municipal administration, building materials, and chemical industry, further optimize the plan, and promote project implementation and large-scale replication.

All-round empowerment: from high-quality joint creation solutions to large-scale replication

The "Green Smart Manufacturing Technology Integration and Innovation Expert Committee" and the mentor group composed of experts from Schneider Electric, Amazon Cloud Technology, Chuangda, and Smart Factory Research Institute will provide market demand research and technology integration guidance for entrants. System planning and support for the "full life cycle" from the transformation and replication of achievements to the implementation of results, and market expansion.

For example, in the "Green Smart Supply Chain" track, Schneider Electric has been selected as one of Gartner's "Top 25 Global Supply Chains" for seven consecutive years and topped the list this year. Enterprises provide strong support such as real scenarios, solution verification, and technical guidance.

From the acceleration camp to the growth camp, from focusing on the real needs of the front line, exporting joint innovation solutions, to small-scale replication and marketization, Schneider Electric will carry out all-round empowerment for the entrants, combined with its rich experience in the field of green intelligent manufacturing Practice, cooperate with ecosystem partners, users, start-up enterprises, etc., and use the practical route of "production, learning, research, and use" to jointly create, promote the joint innovation of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, large and medium-sized enterprises, and form a good innovation ecology. Promote the in-depth development of co-creation and win-win.

At present, the technological complexity and integration of innovation activities are constantly increasing, and the research and development of key core technologies often span multiple fields. It is an inevitable choice for enterprises to use external resources for collaborative innovation to promote technological development. In the future, Schneider Electric will cooperate with industry leaders to establish a future industrial innovation alliance, explore the core pain points of the industry, deeply integrate cutting-edge technologies with industrial scenarios, and accelerate the digitalization and intelligence of the entire green and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. In addition, Schneider Electric will also continue to explore emerging industries with partners, promote the transformation of innovative achievements, jointly promote the enrichment and growth of China's green and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem, and accelerate the march towards a sustainable future industry.
