Meridiam invests and acquires majority stake in Oxand, a leading software solution for maintenance and energy efficiency optimization in building and Infrastructure

15.01.2025

Meridiam, through its Green Impact Growth Fund (GIGF), has acquired a majority stake in Oxand, the leading European software provider for optimized maintenance and energy renovation planning within buildings and infrastructure, alongside its CEO Vianney Airaud and the management team.

 

The built environment, which includes all the residential and commercial buildings, infrastructure, and public spaces that shape our daily lives, is responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gases emissions in Europe[1]. Asset lifecycle management solutions therefore play a critical role in expanding their lifespan and resilience, optimizing their energy performance, rationalizing the replacement of structural components and reducing the risk of degradation.

 

Leveraging a huge proprietary database, Oxand enables precise simulations of component ageing, energy performance and maintenance needs under multiple constraints such as degradation, cost, energy consumption and decarbonization. The solution delivers significant operational and environmental benefits, generating on average 10–20% savings on maintenance budgets and enabling the reduction of up to 60% of buildings energy consumption thanks to structural renovations. Oxand now serves an international base of more than 100 clients and manages over 52 million sqm of assets across France, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

 

Together with the Management team, Meridiam will support the growth of Oxand as a European champion of sustainable asset lifecycle management. Meridiam’s investment will notably contribute to strengthen Oxand’s leadership in France with both public and private sector clients, accelerate its international development, while enhancing and diversifying its software solution with high-value offerings (decarbonization, circularity, etc.). The collaboration will also enable continued investment in innovation, particularly in advanced analytics and predictive maintenance technologies.

 

Eric Rey and Yannick Marion, Meridiam GIGF, stated: ” We are proud to partner with Oxand to support the company’s ambitious development plan. As a pioneer in sustainable infrastructure development, Meridiam is highly aware of the challenges faced by asset managers regarding building maintenance and energy performance. The Oxand team’s expertise in predictive analytics and their cutting-edge platform provide significant value to clients, who often face significant budget and regulatory constraints, while addressing critical environmental issues. We see great potential for Oxand to drive sustainable transformation across the real estate and infrastructure sectors.”

 

Vianney Airaud, CEO of Oxand, added:” At Oxand, we are committed to empowering our clients to extend the lifecycle of their assets while addressing critical environmental and financial challenges. Becoming part of the Meridiam ecosystem represents a significant step forward in advancing sustainable asset management solutions. Together, we aim to accelerate innovation, expand our global reach, and deliver unparalleled value to our clients. Our teams in France, Netherland and Switzerland are at the heart of our success, combining deep expertise with a strong client-first mindset to drive transformational outcomes.”
