Our take
As construction companies struggle to evolve their practices to be more energy efficient, more attention is being placed on energy analysis and “digital twin” startups that provide solutions to this problem. Bisly is one of these companies, offering software solutions for commercial and residential properties.
An “intelligent building” company, Bisly works at all stages of construction. It provides manufacturing and installation analysis, building management software that monitors gas and electricity consumption, and digital twin infrastructure to visualise a project at its conception. The overall aim of Bisly is to reduce installation and running costs, with claims it is two and half times cheaper than its competitors.
Bisly is savvy to maintain its base of operations in Estonia, placing it in proximity to a less competitive market than say, the US or the UK. Furthermore, EU green energy targets mean that automation and analysis companies like Bisly are in great demand - in Estonia alone, it has 20,000 installations. With this early success, and an injection of seed funding behind it, Bisly is planning to expand further across Europe.
