Sensat secures £3m investment for agentic geospatial AI

Sensat is moving beyond data visualisation to develop what it describes as “bleeding-edge” geospatial AI. The company is building specialised AI agents on an agentic architecture that will allow users to query vast, complex infrastructure data in natural language.

“This innovation makes digital twins inherently intelligent and spatially aware, capable of automating complex, multi-stage processes, enabling faster, de-risked decision-making on multi-billion pound projects,” the firm said.

Sensat co-founder Harry Atkinson added: “This investment is a key moment as we transition into a mission-critical partner for the infrastructure sector. We are now moving beyond simple data representation to provide customers with the ability to automate decision-making.

“The industry currently uses digital twins just to see their data. We are moving beyond that. By integrating agentic spatial AI, we are enabling our users to identify risks before they happen and assess the ‘what-if’ scenarios in hours rather than weeks. We move project teams from ‘I think’ to ‘I can see’, allowing them to make critical decisions with confidence and speed.”

Sensat will open an office in Milton Keynes and is “aggressively targeting the North American market to meet the urgent demand for infrastructure modernisation and energy transition projects”.

The investment round was led by Mercia Ventures. Sensat’s customers include National Grid, Avangrid and SP Energy Networks.
