September 24, 2025 – Lausanne, Switzerland and Copenhagen, Denmark
Akselos, the global leader in Structural Performance Management (SPM), today announced a follow-on investment from GRO, a leading software-focused private equity firm. GRO first invested in Akselos in 2023, and this renewed commitment marks a major milestone as the company stands at an inflection point to scale its SPM platform worldwide. For more than a decade, Akselos has pioneered the use of physics-based engineering simulation and AI for structural integrity, to deliver real-time insights that reduce risk, lower costs and extend asset lifetime of some of the most critical infrastructure in the world. Akselos has set a new benchmark for an industry moving towards safer operations, stronger financial performance, and a more sustainable future.
The impact of Akselos’ approach is now gaining global recognition. The World Economic Forum and McKinsey’s Global Lighthouse Network recently spotlighted AI for structural integrity as a defining capability of the world’s most advanced industrial sites. These same principles are where Akselos has established its leadership, applying them across energy and infrastructure assets worldwide.
The follow-on investment from GRO will be directed toward expanding its SPM platform and its benefits in markets where Akselos is the categorical leader, including offshore wind, oil and gas and large-scale infrastructure. This will support continued product innovation, accelerate the delivery of customer value, accelerate and improve capital efficiency, and deepen partnerships with leading operators.
Thomas Leurent, Co-Founder and CEO of Akselos, said:
“The continued commitment from and partnership with GRO is a defining moment for Akselos. The world urgently needs technology that enables safer, more sustainable, and more resilient infrastructure. With GRO’s support, we can scale our impact, expand our reach, and continue to deliver real-time intelligence that helps our customers seize opportunities while reducing risk. GRO’s expertise in scaling advanced B2B software companies makes them an ideal partner for this next phase.”
Maxwell Veyhe, Partner at GRO Capital, said:
“Akselos is setting a new benchmark for how operators design, monitor, and maintain critical infrastructure. The company combines deep scientific innovation with proven industry deployment, and its impact is visible across the energy sector. Akselos is a perfect example of GRO’s thematic approach to advanced software investing and we are excited to continue supporting Akselos as it accelerates international growth and further cements its category-leadership position.”
