Paris, France - ORIS Materials Intelligence, a digital platform for sustainable infrastructure design (roads, railways), reaches a new milestone in its entrepreneurial journey. Initially incubated within the world-leading construction materials company, ORIS's historic shareholder, then registered as a commercial company in 2021, ORIS opens a new phase of its development with the entry of LIBERSET as a strategic investor, as part of a Series A funding round of 3 million euros.

This operation is accompanied by the establishment of renewed governance, led by its co-founders, Nicolas Miravalls and Renaud de Montaignac, and by a management team closely associated with the operational leadership of the company.

Through this corporate carve-out process, ORIS gains its capital and strategic independence, with an agile governance model and solid financing to support its growth and international deployment.

"This step is both an achievement and a new beginning. With Liberset alongside
us and a committed team, we have the means to deploy our mission to
transform linear transport infrastructures, to be better adapted to the challenges
of our time on a large scale," explains Nicolas Miravalls, co-founder and
CEO of ORIS Materials Intelligence.

Technology serving more sustainable and resilient infrastructure

The global linear infrastructure sector represents several hundred billions euros in yearly spendings, and faces increasing regulatory pressures (CSRD, EU Taxonomy, Green Public Procurement) and climate urgency.

The ORIS Materials Intelligence platform, based on artificial intelligence, data science, and engineering, enables project owners, engineers, and local authorities to:

• Measure the environmental footprint of projects from the design phase
• Optimise technical choices and the use of local resources
• Reduce CO₂ emissions and construction costs
• Anticipate climate resilience of projects

In 2024, ORIS identified solutions enabling its clients to avoid 3.1 million tons of CO₂, save 4.4 million tons of primary resources, and reduce costs by 20 million euros, across more than 18,500 km of analysed road projects.

"This transition to an independent structure gives us the agility necessary to
innovate more rapidly, while remaining faithful to our founding mission:
putting science and technology at the service of sustainable and resilient
linear transport infrastructure," adds Renaud de Montaignac, co-founder
and COO of ORIS Materials Intelligence.

A mission-driven company led by sector experts

ORIS has been a Mission-driven Company since 2024. Its purpose: to accelerate the ecological transition of the construction sector by using digital technologies to integrate environmental and social data from the earliest design phases.

About the co-founders

Nicolas Miravalls, co-founder and CEO of ORIS, benefits from solid expertise in developing and managing complex projects in the infrastructure universe. After 20 years in the industry in contracting, consulting, and construction materials, he dedicates himself with ORIS to the digital transitions of the sector.

Renaud de Montaignac, co-founder and COO of ORIS, holds a PhD in civil engineering with an international background in transport infrastructure, engineering, and sustainable innovation. He has led numerous projects combining engineering, new technologies, and environmental performance.

Together, they carry a shared vision: digitalization is a key lever for transforming linear infrastructure construction toward greater sustainability, efficiency, and resilience.

LIBERSET, strategic partner to scale up ORIS

With this funding round, ORIS notably plans to accelerate its product roadmap, strengthen its international presence, and scale up its impact with major project owners and engineering firms.

"The digitization of the infrastructure sector is ushering in a new era, where
performance, traceability, and sustainability are becoming key drivers of
competitiveness. ORIS Materials Intelligence is a pioneer in offering holistic
solutions that transform materials management and optimization, delivering
more resilient, cost-competitive, and low-carbon infrastructure. Its platform,
combining artificial intelligence, data, cutting-edge sector expertise, and ease of
adoption, is redefining the way projects are designed and managed for all major
market players. Alongside its founders and teams, we are mobilizing our
international network of investor family offices to accelerate its development and
amplify its global impact. We are convinced that ORIS is set to become a key
player in the sustainable and competitive digitalization of tomorrow's
infrastructure," concludes Damien Bourel, Co-founder & Managing Partner
of LIBERSET.

About ORIS

ORIS Materials Intelligence offers cloud-based software that measures and optimises carbon emissions in linear transportation infrastructure. It empowers the infrastructure construction eco-system to make informed decisions to reduce carbon emissions by up to 50% and natural resources by up to 80%. Issued from an intrapreneurship initiative and incubated within the world’s leading construction materials company, the ORIS platform enabled to compare multi-criteria solutions to design low-carbon, resilient, and cost-effective infrastructure projects.

Headquartered in Paris, with an office in Lyon and representatives in Europe and Asia, ORIS collaborates with industry leaders such as Sweco, Ramboll, and AECOM, as well as authorities such as Die Autobahn, the Asian Development Bank, and UNIDO to enhance project sustainability from the design stage.

Recognised for its innovative and transformative approach to civil engineering, LCA, climate resilience, data science, and AI, ORIS won the International Road Federation 2024 Award in the “Decarbonisation and Circular Economy” category.
