Akila
Akila is a digital twin platform built to revolutionize sustainability, performance, and human-centricity in the built environment, while also streamlining ESG reporting for portfolio managers and C-level leadership. Our digital twin platform collects and links all data from the built environment, covering the full building lifecycle: design, construction, and operation. Akila is scalable from a single site to a global property portfolio, with all data centralized and visualized in a single platform. Automated data collection and deep data insights help your organization cut down on wasted time and enhance decision-making in support of sustainability and ESG goals. Our mission is to enable all buildings to decarbonize the built environment through digitalization, reducing the nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions created by the real estate industry. Whether shopping malls, offices, factories, or hospitals, our digital twin platform can optimize building operations and environmental impact. Backed by partnerships with Dassault Systemes and Microsoft, Akila currently has a growing team of 100+ members and 7.5M square meters managed across 80 sites of deployment.
