KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Turing, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven water management solutions, has successfully raised US$14 million in a funding round led by Safar Partners. (US$1=RM4.42)

This investment will accelerate Turing’s global expansion and enhance its flagship AI-powered platforms, TOP Clear — which provides end-to-end digital solutions for the utility sector, from water and wastewater treatment to networks — and SmartOps AI, its exclusive water management platform for industrial treatment.

Turing Chief Executive Officer, Hiep Le said with this funding, the company will scale its AI-powered platforms, accelerate global expansion, and equip its customers with the tools to reduce downtime, optimise performance, and improve sustainability.

“As the world’s water challenges grow increasingly complex, the need for real-time operational intelligence (ROI) using experimental and artificial intelligence has never been greater — and that’s exactly what we’re building,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Safar Partners Managing Partner, Nader Motamedy emphasised the strategic importance of Turing’s AI-driven approach.

“Investing in Turing is an investment in the future of intelligent water management. Their unique combination of AI, IIoT, and deep domain expertise creates a comprehensive platform that not only identifies inefficiencies but actively optimises water treatment and distribution,” added Motamedy.

The funding will enable Turing to enhance its AI capabilities, expand into key global markets, advance research and development (R&D) for next-generation water management solutions, and form stronger partnerships with utilities, industrial users, and government agencies to accelerate AI adoption in the water sector.

As utilities face increasing challenges like ageing infrastructure and rising costs, Turing’s AI solutions help clients minimise disruptions, extend asset life, and achieve significant savings while maintaining regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship.

Turing’s solutions stand out by integrating seamlessly with any existing water management platform, offering flexibility whether for water treatment, network systems, or both.

Turing has been recognised for its groundbreaking contributions to the water industry, winning the Cleantech Group Award 25 for its digital innovation in water networks and the Breakthrough Technology Company of the Year Award from Global Water Intelligence for its advanced machine learning algorithms that drive energy and chemical savings in desalination.
