Johnson Controls eyes bigger role in green transformation

BEIJING: Johnson Controls, a United States-based smart building solutions provider, is looking to grasp opportunities arising from China’s fast-growing new energy vehicle and hydrogen industries, and help drive the digital transformation of traditional industries, says a senior company executive.

“China is one of the most important markets for Johnson Controls. The steady growth of the country’s digital economy driven by 5G, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, along with the green development of various industries, have provided us with more opportunities in the Chinese market,” said Anu Rathninde, president of Johnson Controls Asia-Pacific.
