Altira, a prominent private equity fund focusing on climate-related investments worldwide, has announced its partnership with Beyond Net Zero, a growth equity strategy under General Atlantic, which specializes in energy transition. This collaboration aims to invest in Wireless Logic, an independent and leading global platform in the Internet of Things (IoT).
As industries increasingly recognize the necessity of decarbonization as a critical driver for operational efficiency and long-term sustainable value, the Internet of Things emerges as a vital enabler that connects devices, sensors, and systems. This connection facilitates a substantial reduction in emissions and enhances resource efficiency.
Altira’s commitment, channeled through its newly launched Altira Opportunities Fund, is directed towards supporting Wireless Logic’s next phase of global growth and expanding digital infrastructure in the real economy. Montagu, a premier private equity investor in the mid-market, will continue to be the largest shareholder in Wireless Logic.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, Wireless Logic is a global leader in the IoT sector, offering secure and scalable solutions that enable businesses to deploy, manage, and optimize large networks of connected devices. Its platform links physical assets with analytical software, supporting applications that have a positive climate impact.
This type of connectivity leverages devices such as electric vehicle chargers, smart meters, fleet vehicles, agricultural sensors, and industrial equipment to transmit data in real-time. This capability allows for monitoring, automation, and performance enhancement across various sectors.
Wireless Logic’s platform supports a range of climate-impactful use cases in the real economy, from improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure and electricity networks to optimizing transportation fleet routes, enabling precision agriculture, and advancing predictive maintenance in the industrial sector. It allows for real-time visibility and control across vast networks of connected assets, transforming data into tangible outcomes that enhance financial performance and accelerate climate transition by reducing energy waste, cutting fuel consumption, and improving the use of limited resources.
As the pace of digital transformation and global connectivity continues to accelerate, the significance of this enabling layer will become critical in achieving widespread emission reductions across complex and distributed systems, as well as millions of devices.
Jennifer Park, partner and head of impact at Altira, stated that Wireless Logic facilitates the broad application of efficiency and emissions reduction solutions, supporting their deployment in some of the most energy- and resource-intensive sectors of the global economy, driven by the power of technology and its transformative potential. This investment embodies Altira’s strong belief that climate impact and business value are mutually reinforcing, and our partnership with General Atlantic’s Beyond Net Zero fund in Wireless Logic underscores our shared conviction that the Internet of Things is a key pillar and major driver of climate transition.
Gabriel Caio, Head of Climate and Co-CEO at General Atlantic for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, remarked that Altira is a strategic partner aligned with them in this investment, reflecting a shared belief in the potential for creating long-term value with scalable technologies within the energy transition sector. He expressed confidence that Wireless Logic is well-positioned for further growth through transformative mergers and acquisitions while continuing to expand internationally. Adding Altira to its investor base would accelerate Wireless Logic’s growth trajectory.
With ongoing support from Montagu, which first invested in Wireless Logic in 2018, along with the additional backing from General Atlantic and Altira, Wireless Logic is well-positioned to continue its global expansion, both through organic growth and targeted acquisitions, particularly in high-growth markets where there is increasing demand for secure and flexible IoT connectivity solutions.
