"Urbio: Automating Clean Energy Design"
Urbio accelerates the decarbonization of buildings globally by automating and optimizing the design of clean energy systems. The Swiss spin-off from EPFL developed a patent-pending software based on generative design that reduces ten-fold the time spent on design tasks. Today, energy providers and consultants deal with scattered data sources and manual design processes at the building scale, supported essentially by spreadsheets and fragmented tools. Urbio streamlines design and collaborative processes by generating highly customized proposals for individual buildings and entire cities. After closing a $2M pre-seed round in 2021, and more recently a seed round in summer 2024, the company aims to expand internationally in Europe.
