Applied Computing was founded in 2024 to build Orbital, a physics-informed foundation model for energy operations. We're live across oil and gas and petrochemicals, working towards our mission: sustainable abundance for a growing planet.

The hydrocarbon industry keeps the world running. But its complexity has left operators tied to legacy systems, making critical decisions on less than 10% of available data. We built Orbital to change that. It's a foundation model built specifically for energy that lets companies use AI at scale, harnessing all of their operational data and optimising in real time for any metric. Decisions get faster, operations get safer, and carbon intensity falls.

We've raised over $32 million, including one of the largest seed rounds for an AI company in the UK. We're just getting started.
