Sqore and Schneider Electric launch fifth edition of Go Green in the City

September 30, 2014 - In co-operation with Sqore, global energy management leader, Schneider Electric, opens its doors once again for the fifth edition of Go Green in the City. In this global business case challenge, Schneider Electric* is once again on the search for top global job candidates in the area of smart cities and energy management. 

Building on last year’s success, when over 12,000 registrants applied from 159 countries, the competition will once again open to business and engineering students worldwide. In accordance with one of Schneider Electric’s core principles of promoting diversity, candidates are required to apply in teams of two, with at least one female member per team.

Participants are challenged to develop an innovative idea for intelligent energy management in smart cities. Throughout the competition, participants are encouraged to take advantage of available resources, such as quizzes and insights, that aim to enhance the participants’ journey and provide them with comprehensive information to develop their case solution.

The top 100 teams that make it to the semi-finals phase will work together with a mentor from Schneider Electric to develop their ideas. The top 12 finalist teams will then be invited to Schneider Electric’s headquarters in Paris to present their ideas in front of an executive jury, who will select the winning idea in June 2015.

This widely anticipated competition will officially launch on November 15, 2014 with the deadline for application on February 1, 2015.
