About us — Akila 数字孪生

Akila is an Asia-based startup determined to bring on a revolution in the built environment. Our founding team brings high-level tech and business experience from companies including Dassault Systemes, Siemens, Accenture and Saint-Gobain.

We come from energy, engineering, construction, PropTech, facility management, robotics and more. But wherever we come from, we are all going in the same direction: net-zero carbon and a market that puts impact and human-centricity at the center.

We launched in 2021. Since then, we’ve been moving fast and making sure that we don’t waste a single day. Because the fight we are in is a fight that no one on earth can afford to lose.

Where we come from

Akila was incubated by Aden Group, a leading facility-management company with 26,000 employees and a 25-country presence. Founded in 1997, Aden Group’s divisions and joint ventures also include private equity, energy, environmental services and robotics and the group operates in partnership with Total-Eren, Suez, Groupe Monnoyeur and other international companies.

People

Create human-centric spaces where IEQ is optimal and well-being is at the center.

Planet

Accelerate net-zero transitions by enabling better decision-making in the C-suite and among portfolio managers.

Performance

Put powerful data & AI tools on site so staff can pinpoint and respond to issues faster than ever.

Portfolio

Ensure every positive step our clients make is backed by hard data and a generator of value in the age of ESG.

While recent PropTech has begun a process of innovation, the real estate industry has been slow to respond, relative to the demand for change from the market, government and consumers. Akila finally widens the scope and speed of digitalization, empowering stakeholders to break free of the old, analogue industry and bring end-to-end digitalization to the building lifecycle.
