In November 2017, it celebrated its 15-year anniversary.[5] In 2019, Schneider Electric acquired the remaining 43% of shares from the minority shareholder "DMS" for an undisclosed sum.[6][4]
In June 2023, with the presence of high-ranking officials, the company Schneider Electric opened its new IT center in Novi Sad, called InGrid. This modern office space with an open form, with lots of light and greenery, is interesting because it is located in the reconstructed hall of Novkabel, a former industrial giant under whose auspices the first personal computers were made in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the former Yugoslavia. [7] The building is characterized by a carbon-neutral footprint, as well as unique solutions from the Schneider Electric company that provide both power from renewable sources, as well as complete comfort and functionality for work.[8]
Since 22 May 2012, Schneider Electric founded the Center for Young Talents foundation (Serbian: Фондација "Центар за младе таленте", Fondacija "Centar za mlade talente"), a non-profit non-governmental organization based in Novi Sad whose goals are to contribute to the development of theoretical and practical knowledge in informatics, mathematics and other fields, to contribute to the improvement and practical implementation of the education system in the aforementioned fields, as well as to contribute to the permanent education and training of existing personnel. Originally the programming and math courses were classroom-only, until the 2016/17 school year when the first online classes for mathematics were held (PMUFO). Since 2019/20 school year, over 3,000 classes were held and had 2,881 registered participants on its educational portal.[9][4]
