Nodes & Links, a leading AI enterprise platform for construction projects headquartered in London, has raised €11.4 million in a Series B funding round to expand operations to deliver its Vertical AI through Europe and scale its footprint across the U.S.
The funding round was led by ETF Partners, joined by SFC, Uncorrelated and existing investors.
“Our AI agents take away the annoying bits of the work, empowering humans to focus on actually delivering projects on time and on budget, and in doing so, benefiting entire communities,” said Greg Lawton, CEO of Nodes & Links. “This funding allows us to expand our reach, transforming construction at a time when smarter solutions are critical.”
Nodes & Links was founded in 2018 by Christos Ellinas and Greg Lawton, it is a technology company that partners with global leaders in project delivery, spanning large-scale infrastructure projects like roads, energy, and rail, to hyper-scale construction projects such as data centres.
Their platform leverages proprietary, peer-reviewed AI technology (Vertical AI Agents) to provide instant access to critical project insights, automate complex workflows, and support smarter decision-making in the €11.4 trillion construction industry.
Vertical AI Agents are designed to automate critical workflows such as project performance analysis and compliance reporting. By streamlining these processes, Nodes & Links helps enterprises focus on higher-value activities while maintaining complete control of their workflows and data.
The accelerating global demand for construction is well-documented, with spending forecasted to jump €12.4 trillion in 2023, to €21 trillion in 2040, placing demands on the sector to improve productivity. Nodes & Links’ platform is positioned to support this drive for operational efficiency, as well as contribute to the global push for sustainable infrastructure.
In 2024, Nodes & Links has reportedly saved enterprises over 175k hours and €3.6 million, while achieving a 6x increase in adoption rate. To date, the platform, which includes an integrated AI-powered CO2 tracker, has reduced over 9,000 kT of carbon emissions across over 711 projects.
AECOM, a global player in engineering and infrastructure management, has already seen tangible benefits. “Nodes & Links enables our teams to unlock tailored predictive insights quickly and easily, allowing us to fine-tune plans and monitor them closely throughout execution,” said Richard Newey, Project Controls Director at AECOM. “This approach has led to healthier, more efficient, and greener project outcomes.”
“Nodes & Links is redefining how enterprises approach project complexity, enabling smarter, faster, and more sustainable decisions,” said Lucy Rand, Partner at ETF Partners. “Their technology not only enhances operational resilience but also drives meaningful environmental impact by reducing inefficiencies, resource waste, and carbon footprints across industries. As Europe’s leading sustainability investors, we are committed to supporting innovative solutions like that align business performance with sustainability goals, and we are excited to help the Nodes & Links team scale their impact globally.”
