We're excited to share that ORIS Materials Intelligence has secured €3 million in Series A funding, led by strategic investor LIBERSET.
This marks a new chapter in our journey, from an intrapreneurial initiative to an independent, mission-driven company.
This is a new milestone in our entrepreneurial journey.
Initially incubated within the world-leading construction materials company, ORIS's historic shareholder, and subsequently registered as a commercial company in 2021, we are entering a new phase of our development with the investment of LIBERSET as a strategic investor, as part of a Series A funding round of €3 million.
This operation is accompanied by the establishment of a renewed governance structure, led by our co-founders, Nicolas Miravalls and Renaud de Montaignac, and a management team closely aligned with the company's operational leadership.
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.
The global linear infrastructure sector represents several hundred billion euros in yearly spending, and faces increasing regulatory pressures (CSRD, EU Taxonomy, Green Public Procurement) and climate urgency.
With its unprecedented platform dedicated to minimising environmental impact and maximising the social impact of road and rail infrastructure, ORIS positions itself as a partner to help linear infrastructure stakeholders achieve their carbon neutrality goals (Paris Agreement), sustainable development ambitions (PAS 2080), and digital transformation.
In 2024, ORIS identified solutions that enabled its clients to avoid 3.1 million tons of CO₂, save 4.4 million tons of primary resources, and reduce costs by €20 million 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.
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.
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: digitalisation is a key lever for transforming linear infrastructure construction toward greater sustainability, efficiency, and resilience.
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.
