Background
Schneider Electric is a French energy-management and automation group. Its documented Israeli footprint is commercial: a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary since 1999 and a startup-investment programme announced in 2018. Schneider also publishes on its own website a customer case-study document dated September 2019 titled 'Israel Railways Electrification project', indicating involvement in that programme; the document could not be opened in this pass and no contract value is public, so it is noted here rather than listed as evidence. Reports that Schneider Electric has bought Israeli companies were checked and not confirmed — its large recent acquisitions, AVEVA and Cognite, are British and Norwegian respectively. No donation, aid or public statement of support for Israel by the company was found, including after October 2023.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 1999 | — | Schneider Electric Israel Ltd (Tzoran-Kadima industrial park) Schneider Electric has operated its own Israeli subsidiary, Schneider Electric Israel Ltd, since 1999, registered at the Tzoran-Kadima industrial park in central Israel and headed by a local country manager (Philippe Brami as of 2018). It sells and supports the group's electrical distribution, industrial automation and data-centre products in the Israeli market through the corporation rather than through a distributor arrangement. | |
| Investment / program | 2018-06-21 | $25,000,000 | Israeli startups (12 selected companies; earlier stakes in Claroty, Atlantium Technologies and Nova Lumos) Schneider Electric announced it would invest in twelve Israeli startups at seed and feasibility stage, with an initial investment estimated at $25 million — roughly $2 million per seed-stage company and more for later-stage ones. Senior executives, including the group's chief strategy officer and its corporate ventures officer, visited Israel and met Grove Ventures, Jerusalem Venture Partners and Start-Up Nation Central. The company declined to name the twelve at the time; it had already backed the Israeli industrial-cybersecurity company Claroty through the Aster Capital fund it supports, and earlier made clean-tech investments in Atlantium Technologies and Nova Lumos. |
