They Bring Superintelligence to EnergyTech 🚀

🌍 Why It Matters?

Legacy energy infrastructure still supports billions of lives globally — food, transport, medicine, manufacturing. Yet most of it is 40+ years old.

Orbital doesn’t try to replace this — it makes it radically more efficient, safer, and climate-aligned using real AI, not just buzzwords.

A new era of AI in energy is underway — and it’s Built in Britain.

What Applied Computing does 🔍 They build foundation models not for the web… but for the physical world. Their flagship platform,

Orbital, is designed to optimise complex infrastructure like oil refineries and petrochemical plants — the industries that quietly power everyday life.

And the results? Orbital is outperforming existing software by 90% and slashing costs for clients by up to 75%.

Meet Orbital: Super intelligent AI for the Real World

Unlike typical cloud AI, Orbital uses multi-foundation models – covering language, time series, physics, and chemical engineering. It captures 100% of available data from energy facilities (vs. just 8% before), delivering insights in real time – all deployed on-site for speed and security.

✅ Real-world results:

• 75% cost reduction vs cloud AI
• Under 10 weeks to payback
• Benchmarked as state-of-the-art (SOTA)

Orbital is already powering one of the world’s largest refineries, helping reduce energy consumption by 10% — potentially saving billions.

👥 Founders & Visionaries

Callum Adamson (CEO) and Dr. Samyakh (Sam) Tukra (Chief AI Officer) are behind the mission. They’re joined by experts from Shell , Palantir , bp Launchpad , and Imperial College London — a dream team with deep domain expertise.

🔊 In their words:

"Refining is where complexity, scale, and impact converge. Orbital is already delivering in the real world — improving margins, reducing emissions, and laying the foundation for a smarter energy system." — Callum Adamson, CEO

“Heavy industry can’t be erased. It must be transformed. That’s why we built Orbital.” — Dr. Sam Tukra, Chief AI Officer

💸 Huge Seed Round

Applied Computing just secured a £9 million seed round, led by Stride.VC with Repeat.vc.

This is one of the largest-ever seed investments for a British AI company — a strong signal that AI built for industry is heating up fast.

👀 What’s Next?

• Series A planned for H2 2025
• Demo Day on 10 June 2025 – showcasing live results and a case study from an active industrial deployment

Don’t miss this. The energy world is watching.

A Final Word from the Investors 💬

“Small bands of highly competent rebels like Sam, Callum and the Applied Computing team show what’s possible in transforming huge industries… and this is proudly Built in Britain.” — Fred Destin, Stride.VC

QUESTION ⁉️

Can AI like Orbital be the key to decarbonising the infrastructure we can’t replace — or are we underestimating the challenge of retrofitting AI to old systems?
