Perceptual Robotics combines autonomous drones and artificial intelligence to inspect wind farms, capturing high-resolution imagery, classifying damage, and delivering comprehensive reports within 48 hours. Its platform includes repair prioritization and cost-estimation tools and supports predictive maintenance to help operators address issues earlier. The company reports it has processed thousands of wind turbine inspections and more than one million images and claims its approach can reduce overall maintenance costs by up to 30% and inspection costs by up to 50%. Perceptual Robotics’ product lineup includes the Dhalion DOT system and the EVE mini drone, both built around AI-driven damage classification. The company plans to use the new funding to scale operations and strengthen customer support as it expands adoption among wind farm owners and service providers.

AirEx, launched in 2020, develops the first smart air brick technology that uses sensors to monitor conditions and regulate airflow under floors to reduce heat loss. Its product aims to improve energy performance and resident health without requiring expensive or disruptive interventions. AirEx has established commercial partnerships with dozens of housing providers and Tier 1 contractors, including Warmworks, Peabody and Together Housing. To date the company reports over 39,000 smart air bricks installed across more than 6,400 homes, delivering an estimated £40 million in lifetime energy bill savings for households in fuel poverty and more than 40,000 tonnes of lifetime carbon emissions abatement. The company plans to use the £2.1 million funding to accelerate large-scale deployment, develop new products and expand into new partnerships and broader market rollout. AirEx positions itself to scale commercially alongside government retrofit funding and social housing upgrade programmes.

Ecodetect has developed an eco-detection toolkit that combines artificial intelligence, machine learning and specialist programming to automatically identify and record wildlife interactions using data from underwater imaging sensors. Its core customers are renewable energy developers who require environmental monitoring and reporting to meet licensing and compliance obligations. The company is targeting growth in offshore wind, floating wind and tidal energy and sees additional applications across aquaculture, fishing and broader marine infrastructure. Founded and led by Dr David Gold and based at M-SParc on Anglesey, Ecodetect brings together expertise in offshore energy, marine wildlife and advanced technology. The business says it is already recognised for eco-tech innovation in the UK and Europe. Following the £490,000 equity raise, Ecodetect plans to expand its team—creating four new roles over the next six months—and invest in scaling its technology and improving marine data communication systems.

Regeno designs modular, plug-and-play wind turbines engineered to be serviced from ground level and assembled without cranes or specialist installers. Its design aims to reduce installation and maintenance costs, shorten downtime, and change the economics of wind deployment. Regeno says each unit can cut carbon emissions by up to 1.5 tonnes per year and save users up to 25% on electricity costs. The company plans to commercialise its prototype, run field trials, target farms first, and then expand to larger onshore and offshore wind farms. Regeno intends to use the recent £422K raise to prove the technology and conduct those field trials, followed by another seed round to certify for safety and enable global deployment. The company was founded by solo CEO Adarsh Bhardwaj, who developed the idea during his dissertation at the University of Strathclyde.
