Two Real-World Applications: How Physical AI Startups Are Enhancing Decision-Making and Efficiency for Data Centers and Utilities
As climate challenges strain infrastructure and energy systems, a new wave of startups is applying AI beyond digital workflows to solve problems in the physical world.
Physical AI systems interact with and make decisions about real-world infrastructure, buildings, grids, and equipment by combining real-time data with machine learning. These systems sense, interpret, and act on the physical environment to optimize operations.
Join Compose VC and Treeo VC General Partners for a collaborative event during NYC Climate Week 2025 featuring a forward-looking session on Physical AI deployment across high-impact industries.
We'll showcase two startups:
🔹 FluixAI, led by Co-Founder & CEO Abhishek Sastri, optimizes data center energy efficiency by managing HVAC, water, IT, and lighting systems and enabling dynamic responses to changing compute demands and grid conditions.
🔹 ThreeV AI, led by Co-Founder & CEO Eren Aksu, revolutionizes asset inspections with GenAI and computer vision, helping energy and infrastructure companies optimize operations and reduce costs at scale.
Didem Altop of Treeo VC and Cem Mimaroglu of Compose VC will moderate a live discussion with the founders, exploring:
🔹 The real-world impact of Physical AI in legacy sectors and the context in which their startups are transforming these industries
🔹 The challenges of scaling in regulated and asset-heavy environments
🔹 What investors and talent seek in early-stage climate infrastructure startups
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from innovative founders who are pushing AI beyond screens and into the grid—whether you're investing in Physical AI, working in the infrastructure economy, or tackling energy efficiency challenges facing data centers and utilities.
