SUMMARY

  • Intelligent Core, the UK-based AI company delivering real-time, autonomous intelligence to critical industrial sectors, including energy, oil and gas and manufacturing, has raised £2 million in a funding round led by Fuel Ventures. This follows a £500k investment earlier this year.

Led by CEO Tom Greenlees, Intelligent Core is transforming industries that have long relied on slow, siloed, and reactive systems. Its modular AI platform ingests live data from sensors, equipment and field environments, providing real-time visibility, accurate forecasting, and autonomous decision-making. Designed to operate in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge, the platform delivers intelligence directly to the most remote and mission-critical areas of an organisation.

As energy networks, utilities, manufacturers, and transport operators face rising costs, complex operations, and increasing sustainability requirements, Intelligent Core enables a new level of operational control. Organisations can now act in milliseconds instead of hours or days predicting failures before they occur, optimising performance continuously, and reducing emissions through smarter automation. The platform has helped clients cut operational costs by up to 80%.

According to Tom Greenlees, CEO of Intelligent Core, industrial organisations are under mounting pressure to operate 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“But the reality is that most are still limited by outdated tools and legacy systems that simply can’t keep up.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.”

The funding round also saw additional participation from Plug & Play Tech Centre and Helion Partners.

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.”

The new funding will accelerate Intelligent Core’s mission to modernise and transform legacy industrial infrastructure. The company plans to use the capital to expand its team, advance hardware product development, and enable large-scale deployments for customers across global markets.
