The London-based startup will use the funding to scale its operations and tap into the lucrative £7tr construction sector. Founded in 2019, BKwai uses data to provide construction teams with insights during projects. The construction industry has also been under significant pressure to take environmental factors into account for new projects, which BKwai claims will be made easier with its software platform. BKwai previously received funding from Cambridge University’s deeptech accelerator funding scheme, which awarded £350,000 each to five machine learning startups.
