As AI reshapes the global data centre landscape, Schneider Electric is bringing together technology pioneers, consultants, and enterprise leaders for its highly anticipated Innovation Day: Reinventing Cooling for the AI Era.
Held at Hilton Sydney on 23 September 2025, the event will showcase breakthrough approaches to cooling innovation, unlocking new levels of performance, scalability, and sustainability for AI-ready data centres across Australia and New Zealand.
The Innovation Day presents a platform for industry experts, ecosystem partners, and Schneider Electric’s global leaders to collaborate, share knowledge, and explore how advanced cooling technologies are transforming the backbone of the digital economy.
Senior speakers will discuss the rapid rise of AI workloads and unveil strategies to enable data centres to cool smarter, scale faster, and operate more sustainably. The programme will also spotlight how Schneider Electric’s acquisition of a majority stake in Motivair, a global leader in liquid cooling and thermal management, strengthens its ability to deliver comprehensive solutions, from grid to chip, and chip to chiller.
Key highlights:
AI-ready infrastructure: Expert talks on designing sustainable, high-performance data centres optimised for artificial intelligence.
Liquid cooling innovation: Technical deep dives into direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CFD design, and modular retrofit solutions.
Global case studies: Insights from early adopters demonstrating transitions from air to liquid cooling.
Hands-on experience: Live demonstrations and interactive displays at the Innovation Hub.
Schneider Electric is the only end-to-end provider of liquid cooling solutions purpose-built for AI and high-performance computing, enabling faster deployment, smarter operations, and more sustainable performance at scale.
