Nexans (https://www.nexans.com) and American Electric Power (AEP) (https://www.aep.com) made a strategic minority investment in French AI startโup Sensewaves (https://www.sensewaves.io). The partnership supports Sensewavesโ growth and advances AIโpowered grid digitalization for utilities worldwide.
Founded in 2015, Sensewaves focuses on AI analytics for power grids through its Adaptix.Grid platform. Adaptix.Grid unifies data from different utility systems and provides realโtime visibility across lowโ and mediumโvoltage networks, even with incomplete or uneven data. The platform supports optimization from planning through realโtime operations and maintenance.
The new funding helps Sensewaves grow faster, speed up Adaptix.Grid deployments, and expand into new markets. The investment strengthens R&D, product development, and business teams so Sensewaves can deliver AIโbased grid solutions in more regions. Utilities gain a fullโservice solution to modernize networks, integrate renewables, and support electric vehicle infrastructure.
Sensewaves CEO Fivos Maniatakos highlights Nexansโ strength in cables and turnkey systems and AEPโs experience as a grid operator. He states that the collaboration positions Sensewaves as a strong provider of smart, scalable grid management solutions for utilities in the energy transition.
