INTELLIGENT CORE secures £2m to bring a new era of real-time, autonomous AI to the world’s most critical industries
Written by Christina Levada
Intelligent Core, the AI-powered company delivering real-time, autonomous intelligence to crucial industrial sectors including energy, oil and gas and manufacturing, has secured £2m in investment led by Fuel Ventures. The raise also included additional investment from Plug & Play Tech Center and Helion Partners. This new investment follows on from a £500k funding round earlier this year which sparked explosive growth.
Led by CEO Tom Greenlees, Intelligent Core is transforming crucial industrial sectors - such as oil and gas, water, manufacturing and transport - that have historically relied on slow, siloed and reactive systems. Its modular AI platform takes live data from sensors, equipment and field environments and converts it into real-time visibility, accurate forecasting and autonomous decision-making. Built to run seamlessly in the cloud, on-premises and at the edge, the platform delivers intelligence directly to the most remote and mission-critical parts of an organisation.
At a time when energy networks, utilities, manufacturers and transport operators face rising costs, complex operations and escalating sustainability demands, Intelligent Core gives them a completely new level of control. Instead of waiting hours or days for visibility, organisations can now act in milliseconds - predicting failures before they happen, optimising performance continuously, and reducing emissions through smarter automation. This best-in-market AI- powered technology has helped organisations cut operational costs by up to 80%.
Its INTELLIGENT CORE™ Platform brings together data ingestion, forecasting, analytics and autonomy into one modular framework. By unifying data and enabling AI to operate anywhere - from central systems to remote edge locations - the platform helps enterprises reduce downtime, predict equipment and system risks, and deliver more sustainable, efficient operations.
The new investment will accelerate Intelligent Core’s mission to modernise and transform outdated industrial infrastructure. The company will use the capital to scale its team, advance product development of their hardware solutions and deliver large-scale customer deployments across global markets.
Tom Greenlees, CEO at Intelligent Core said :
“Industrial organisations are under pressure to run more efficiently, safely and sustainably - but the reality is that most are still limited by outdated tools and legacy systems that simply can’t keep up.
We built Intelligent Core to give organisations real operational intelligence - live, predictive, and autonomous - no matter how remote, complex, or distributed their operations are. In heavy industry, data is often the biggest roadblock to meaningful AI deployment, and that’s exactly why we’ve developed proprietary hardware that allows us to collect the critical data ourselves and deliver results rapidly. This investment accelerates our mission to bring truly intelligent infrastructure to the sectors that need it most and to redefine what industrial AI can achieve in the real world.”
Mark Pearson, Founder of Fuel Ventures, commented:
“Since initially investing in Intelligent Core earlier this year, we’ve been impressed by the momentum they’ve built and the speed at which they are reshaping industrial operations with real-time, autonomous AI.
We’re strong believers in the power of AI, and Intelligent Core is an excellent example of real-world AI deployment at scale. The team is solving challenges that have held major industries back for decades, and their technology has the potential to redefine how critical infrastructure runs. We’re thrilled to support them at this stage and look forward to backing their rapid growth in the journey ahead”
