Global Brain has invested in Lucend, a company developing an AI platform for data center operation optimization, through its ME Innovation Fund L.P. (ME Innovation Fund). In recent years, the acceleration of digitalization following the widespread adoption of GenAI has intensified capital expenditures in data centers globally. Consequently, data center operators are increasingly required to improve overall facility operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Lucend provides Transparent AI, a platform that comprehensively analyzes and visualizes key metrics such as power and water usage, CO2 emissions, and the operational status of various equipment based on a vast amount of data points collected from existing sensors. Global Brain has decided to invest in Lucend, highly recognizing its advanced technological edge and global track record of implementation. Through this investment, Global Brain will work together with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation to provide multifaceted business support to accelerate Lucend’s growth.
