Nysn\u00f8 Climate Investments invests in Vixel AS to reduce emissions from the construction industry<\/h1>\n\n\n

Stavanger \u2013 30.08.24: Nysn\u00f8 Climate Investments is investing approximately NOK 14 million in the Norwegian company Vixel AS. The company is behind the software Vrex, which offers a virtual collaboration tool that plays a central role in the planning and execution phases within construction and infrastructure. This investment will strengthen Vixel\u2019s market position and expand their capacity to deliver sustainable IT solutions to the entire construction industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction industry accounts for 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Norway. Additionally, construction waste represents 40% of all waste in Europe (source: EU Science Hub). The goal is for Vixel, through its Vrex service, to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and help the industry save significant, untapped financial costs related to materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 Vrex is a virtual collaboration solution that enables the construction, engineering, and manufacturing industries to hold digital virtual construction meetings inside 3D project models. This results in fewer business trips, more efficient project execution, and less wast<\/em>e, says Rune Vandli, CEO of Vixel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vrex stands out from competing solutions by offering a collaborative platform that supports virtual reality (VR) for technical building plans. This makes it possible to detect and correct errors early in the process, allowing architects, engineers, and end-users to identify improvements before project construction begins, thereby reducing both material use and environmental footprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 We are ready to scale up our team to continue growing and are looking for experienced business developers to join the Vixel team<\/em>, Vandli continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Impressive growth rate and potential<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 We have followed Vixel since the beginning of 2023 and have seen an impressive growth rate from the company. We strongly believe that our investment in Vixel will contribute to more sustainable practices in the industry,<\/em> says Solveig Espedal Sundsdal, Senior Associate at Nysn\u00f8 Climate Investments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sundsdal also highlights significant potential beyond just travel time and materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 If the construction industry adopts this visualization tool, it will also be possible to improve space utilization, potentially reducing the size and footprint of projects. Additionally, the threshold for using sustainable solutions, such as prefabricated alternatives, could be lowered. This could result in substantial reductions in the environmental impact of construction activities<\/em>, Sundsdal adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 It is clear that the team has developed a product that customers are satisfied with, delivering strong growth with limited resources. They already have a very solid client list with large companies and a good strategy for further growth,<\/em> she concludes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Nysn\u00f8 Climate Investments, Skagerak Capital and Construct Venture are also participating in this financing round.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
