Neara is a high-growth technology company, backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital and private equity investors, including EQT and Partners Group. Neara has developed a software platform that builds sophisticated, engineering-grade 3D digital models of critical infrastructure, delivered under a software-as-a-service model.

Neara’s software platform has been adopted by infrastructure owners and operators around the world to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the industry. Neara’s platform delivers solutions across the entire asset life cycle, from the design and construction of new networks to access renewable energy generation, to high-value problem statements in asset management, through to the impact of climate change and extreme weather on the reliability and availability of critical commodities such as electricity.
