Axiom Cloud
United States
At Axiom Cloud, our mission is to use software and automation to transform how the world’s cooling systems are powered, operated, and maintained, in order to generate significant climate and financial impact. We provide value to our customers and make cooling systems more sustainable in the following ways: - By predicting equipment issues and making cooling systems more efficient, we lower maintenance costs and reduce the energy required to achieve the same amount of cooling. - By adding power flexibility and energy storage to cooling systems, we generate revenue for our customers and enable higher penetrations of intermittent renewables (solar, wind, etc.) onto the grid. - By identifying and curtailing refrigerant leaks early, we help reduce the amount of high-GWP refrigerants released into the atmosphere. Axiom’s team of refrigeration experts, data scientists, energy nerds, and software developers solves retail grocery’s biggest energy and maintenance challenges by layering intelligence onto their existing refrigeration systems. Experience with commercial refrigeration systems is at our core, and we plan to leverage this experience across multiple industry categories to make the world’s cooling systems more sustainable.

DotBlocks
+ 1
France
Industry, faced with decarbonization objectives for 2030 and beyond, needs accessible and tailored numerical simulation tools to accelerate innovation in the management and design of its processes and products. Current solutions, which are very costly and can only be used by trained experts, are struggling to meet these expectations. DotBlocks aims to meet this need by offering an intuitive, no-code cloud platform, enabling manufacturers to rapidly design their own high-performance, tailor-made simulation tools, with the help of pre-coded components. This approach aims to democratize numerical simulation by making it usable without expertise or training, thus significantly speeding up manufacturers' innovation workflows by making numerical simulation accessible to all the technical teams involved in the process.
