Tricoire's participation follows Schneider Electric's successful involvement in the event last year.
It also comes on the back of his presence at the recent World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi.
The Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) is hosting the event from Jan. 21 to 24 at the Kingdom Centre, Four Seasons Hotel.
The sixth edition of the forum will host more than 100 speakers including global business and political leaders as well as selected intellectuals and journalists.
Over the years, GCF has successfully highlighted the importance of a competitive and innovative marketplace.
This year's event will reiterate the benefits of entrepreneurship and tap into young, entrepreneurial minds to effect change.
Christophe Campagne, Schneider Electric country president in Saudi Arabia, said: "The subject of entrepreneurship is highly topical in the region. Saudi Arabia and the Middle East in general have a wealth of human resources. This massive pool of young, intelligent, motivated and creative individuals is the future
of the region, which makes the forum an ideal platform for them to listen and be heard."
The forum will analyse the aspects of social, government and corporate entrepreneurship. Key areas of discussion will include the importance of failure, value of risk, and the anatomy of an entrepreneur.
This year will also see the inclusion of breakaway workshops that will expand on some of the topics discussed onstage in a smaller and more personalised setting.
As head of a global leader in energy management, Jean-Pascal Tricoire's comments will be followed with particular interest as Schneider Electric continues to formulate innovative yet practical solutions for the challenges that confront the energy sector.
Campagne added: "At Schneider Electric, we nurture innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the organization. The globally recognized BipBop program that stands for 'Business, Innovation and People at the Base of the Pyramid' is an excellent example of our CSR program to encourage entrepreneurs to help and support some of the least privileged communities.
Through our success with BipBop and other initiatives, we remain committed to supporting the evolution of the next generation of entrepreneurs and dreamers."
