With its sights set on the era of sustainable consumption, Axon created the Corporate Venture Capital unit in 2020 to access the best entrepreneurs and high-impact sustainable technologies in the field of energy efficiency. After two years of sector analysis and extensive experience in impact investments, the firm is accelerating its international positioning by leading a capital round in Uptime Analytics, a leading company in the Latin American energy efficiency market. The investment round will be executed as part of the Colombian multi-utility’s Ventures EPM programme, focused on boosting entrepreneurs with differentiating capabilities that incorporate science and technology for energy and digital transformation and the circular economy.
According to the International Energy Outlook report, global energy consumption is projected to grow by nearly 50% by 2050, with the industrial sector accounting for more than half of global end-use energy consumption. Uptime Analitycs has identified opportunities to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by employing digital solutions and models based on artificial intelligence. These developed models place Uptime in a privileged position with growth potential in the energy savings market. With Axon’s support and expertise, the company will accelerate its expansion into other industrial sectors, consolidate its platform and library of artificial intelligence models, and enable it to leap into Europe.
This investment reaffirms Axon as a leading reference manager in high-impact investments promoting energy transition, utility sector sustainability, and energy efficiency-related technologies.
Joining forces with Axon and the EPM Ventures programme will have a very positive impact on accelerating the reduction of CO2 emissions, contributing to the country's sustainability goals and having a greater impact on other companies. This investment will allow us to ratify our technology and business model, bringing benefits to our customers and market.
The company is pleased to promote and contribute to the growth of Uptime, providing all the experience Axon can offer as a management company with a high degree of specialisation in impact investments in the energy transition.
