Quick Read: Amey collaborates with Grid Edge and BMSI to launch E60+, an AI-powered energy management solution that optimises building performance and accelerates the journey to Net Zero.

Amey, a prominent provider of engineering, operations, and decarbonisation solutions for UK infrastructure, has joined forces with Grid Edge to introduce a pioneering energy management solution. This AI-powered platform, named E60+, dynamically adjusts building assets based on real-time usage data to optimise energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Grid Edge, an AI SaaS platform driving commercial buildings towards Net Zero, has partnered with Amey to accelerate clients' carbon reduction journeys. The project also receives full support from BMSI, the UK's leading independent systems integrator of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), enhancing Amey’s Facilities Management teams' capabilities.

E60+ operates by collecting data from various sources across a building’s footprint. This data is integrated with AI and machine learning to provide detailed insights into workplace operations and asset performance. These insights are then converted into real-time recommendations, which are implemented immediately into Building Management Systems (BMS) schedules, ensuring optimisation without compromising user experience.

E60+ gathers historical meter data and contextual information to identify inefficient areas, then uses real-time data to provide actionable recommendations.

explained Craig McGilvray, Managing Director of Amey’s Complex Facilities business.

Our goal is to help clients reduce energy costs and carbon consumption, driving towards Net Zero.

The collaboration highlights the synergy between Amey, Grid Edge, and BMSI in promoting smart building solutions. Paul McCorquodale, CEO of Grid Edge, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership:

We are thrilled to work with Amey and BMSI, leveraging our combined expertise to advance the UK’s Net Zero goals.

Keith Bankier, Director of Support at BMSI, added:

AI and Machine Learning are crucial for future building optimisation. By maximising data use, we can significantly reduce energy consumption and support our customers in achieving Net Zero.

E60+ has already demonstrated impressive results, achieving 20-40% optimisation of carbon and costs from energy use within the first 12 months for customer buildings. The platform balances the building's energy needs with grid and renewable supply indicators, ensuring energy is used at the lowest carbon and cost times of the day.

The system’s focus on data-driven energy load management and automation marks a significant step towards future-proofing estates against energy system volatility.

McGilvray concluded,

We are committed to working with our supply chain to ensure innovative technologies benefit our clients. I am eager to see the positive impact of E60+ on Amey’s public estates portfolio as we strive towards Net Zero.

The collaboration between Amey, Grid Edge, and BMSI represents a landmark development in energy management, showcasing the power of cross-industry partnerships in driving sustainable innovation.

West Midlands Health Tech Innovation Accelerator Unlocks Nearly £50M in Private Investment

The West Midlands Health Tech Innovation Accelerator (WMHTIA), led by the University of Birmingham, has generated an impressive £49.4 million in private co-investment within its first two years, significantly surpassing its original £14.5 million public funding allocation.

Funded through the Innovation Accelerator programme, coordinated by Innovate UK, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and UK Research and Innovation, WMHTIA has become a leading force in advancing health technology innovation across the region.

The majority of the private investment—£36.3 million—was directly committed by investors to enterprises supported by the Accelerator. This achievement represents a threefold return on the initial public investment, demonstrating the strong investor confidence in the region’s health tech sector.

Powering Health Innovation Through Collaboration

The WMHTIA brings together 21 partners from academia, industry, and the NHS to help healthtech companies develop, validate, and commercialise cutting-edge medical technologies. So far, companies supported through the programme have also secured an additional £10 million in national public grants from agencies including NIHR, Eureka, and Innovate UK.

Including both public and private contributions, the total investment leveraged by WMHTIA now stands at £67.3 million.

Professor Adam Tickell, Vice-Chancellor, University of Birmingham:

We’re proud to support startups through the riskiest stages of innovation so more life-saving technologies reach patients. This exceptional investment proves what’s possible when academia, the NHS, and industry work together to drive economic growth and better health outcomes.

In March 2025, the Innovation Accelerator programme was extended with a further £30 million, including £4 million for the WMHTIA to continue supporting the region’s innovators in 2025/26.

Backing the Future of Health Tech

Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands:

The West Midlands is leading medical tech innovation—from faster diagnoses to shorter hospital stays. Healthtech isn’t just improving lives; it’s creating secure, high-value jobs that drive inclusive growth.

Dean Cook, Executive Director of Place and Global, Innovate UK:

This programme shows how place-based innovation can unlock greater business investment in R&D. By connecting the region’s strengths, we’re creating high-value jobs and building globally significant innovation capability.

The WMHTIA continues to strengthen the region’s reputation as a national hub for health technology, with far-reaching benefits for patient care, job creation, and regional economic development.
