Digital Energy

What Digital Energy does

Digital Energy is a Dubai-headquartered AI company founded in 2016 that builds solutions for tracking and optimizing emissions, water, waste, and critical resources across the energy value chain. The company's core technology is an 'Infused AI Architecture' that fuses industrial frameworks with AI models, combined with an Environomics framework that pairs environmental models with a proprietary emissions database to support Scope 3 emissions tracking and sustainability planning. Its product portfolio spans three lines: Digital Energy Advisory (consulting on AI strategy, operating model design, vendor due diligence, and implementation planning for energy sector clients); Digital Energy AI Solutions (an enterprise-grade platform offering intelligent forecasting, optimization engines, decision support, and an AI-Powered Operations Platform with cloud, on-premise, or hybrid deployment); and Applications, anchored by NexaHSE, a computer-vision-based safety observation platform distributed via web, iOS, and Android.

The company targets four primary use-case segments: oil and gas operations, maritime and offshore logistics, power generation and utilities, and energy infrastructure and asset management. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for advisory and AI Solutions with a product-led distribution channel for NexaHSE through consumer app stores. Revenue is generated through professional services fees for advisory engagements and subscription/recurring models for AI Solutions and Applications. Operating geographies span the Middle East (UAE headquarters) and Europe (Dublin, Ireland office), with a claimed global footprint.

Digital Energy is privately held, founder-led by Morgan Eldred, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors beyond the 2022 Accelerate Green funding round, or ownership changes. The company has earned recognition through the UAE Future 100 program in 2023 and 2024, the Top 100 Middle East Sustainability Voices list in 2024, and active participation in industry forums including COP28. The small team size of 11-50 employees, single disclosed funding event, and absence of named customer logos constrain visibility into commercial scale.
