ABB: Powering Global Energy Transition Through Local Innovation

Local Roots, Global Vision

ABB continues to strengthen its innovation efforts in China, turning local research and development into a key driver of its global energy strategy. By building deep partnerships with local industries and research institutions, ABB not only tailors advanced automation and electrification solutions for China’s fast-evolving market but also exports these innovations to support sustainable growth worldwide.

Innovation That Drives Decarbonization

ABB’s focus in China reflects its global mission — enabling a smarter and cleaner energy future. The company develops technologies that integrate renewable energy, optimize energy use, and enhance grid reliability. Its efforts align with the global push for decarbonization, digital transformation, and energy efficiency — three pillars reshaping industrial and energy sectors today.

The Value of Local R&D

ABB’s local innovation centers in China play a strategic role in creating technologies suited for regional demands — from intelligent manufacturing to green mobility. The “local for global” model transforms China’s industrial know-how and speed into a source of global competitiveness. This approach also demonstrates how multinational companies can contribute to a country’s innovation ecosystem while strengthening their global position.

A Broader Perspective

ABB’s strategy offers a valuable insight for the energy industry: local innovation is no longer just about market adaptation; it is a key component of global transformation. As clean energy adoption accelerates, companies that combine local expertise with global collaboration will shape the future of energy.
