AI-driven water management company Turing has secured $14 million in a funding round led by Safar Partners. The investment will support the company’s global expansion and enhance its flagship AI-powered platforms, which are designed to improve efficiency and sustainability in water treatment and distribution.
Turing, a leading provider of artificial intelligence and industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions, has developed two key platforms: TOP Clear, which offers digital solutions for the utility sector, and SmartOps AI, a dedicated water management platform for industrial treatment.
Unlike traditional supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems or standalone analytics tools, Turing’s technology integrates seamlessly with existing water management infrastructure. It uses AI-driven automation, IIoT, and predictive analytics to provide real-time control, anomaly detection, and intelligent decision-making.
The funding will allow Turing to expand its operations in key markets, including North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and accelerate research into next-generation predictive and autonomous water management technologies.
A Growing Role in Water Sustainability
Hiep Le, CEO of Turing, welcomed the investment, emphasising the company’s commitment to tackling global water challenges.
“Our mission is to redefine how industries and municipalities manage water resources,” he said. “With this funding, we will scale our AI-powered platforms, accelerate global expansion, and equip our customers with the tools to reduce downtime, optimise performance, and improve sustainability.”
Le stressed that as water scarcity and infrastructure challenges intensify, the demand for real-time operational intelligence and AI-driven solutions is more critical than ever.
Investor Confidence in AI-Driven Water Solutions
Nader Motamedy, managing partner of Safar Partners, highlighted the potential of Turing’s technology to transform the industry.
“Investing in Turing is an investment in the future of intelligent water management,” he said. “Their unique combination of AI, IIoT, and deep domain expertise creates a platform that not only identifies inefficiencies but actively optimises water treatment and distribution. As the demand for smarter infrastructure grows, Turing is positioned to lead the industry forward.”
Turing has received recognition for its innovative approach, winning the Cleantech Group Award 25 for digital innovation in water networks and the Breakthrough Technology Company of the Year Award from Global Water Intelligence for its machine learning algorithms that drive energy and chemical savings in desalination.
Scaling AI for Water Efficiency
The new funding will be used to:
- Enhance AI capabilities in TOP Clear and SmartOps AI to optimise water treatment and wastewater processing.
- Expand operations in key international markets.
- Accelerate research into predictive and autonomous water management solutions.
- Strengthen partnerships with utilities, industrial users, and government agencies.
With ageing infrastructure, rising costs, and increasing water scarcity, industries and utilities are under pressure to modernise their water systems. Turing’s AI-driven solutions aim to help clients reduce operational disruptions, extend asset life, and achieve cost savings, all while ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
