Company Description

Making decisions in the modern world is difficult. How can we predict the outcome of things which have no precedent? A new illness might fundamentally change our lives and work; a single grounded ship could affect global supply chains for weeks; fighting climate change will mean fundamental changes to how the world operates.

At Silico, we believe simulation is the key, combining hard data with human knowledge and intuition, enabling foresight in the face of radical uncertainty. We’re building a platform that allows people to collaboratively build Digital Twins of business processes to evaluate transformation initiatives and process changes, monitor their implementation, and optimise ongoing operations.

We believe in a transparent, evidence-based approach to decision-making. We want to give people insight into their problems and help them reach reasoned conclusions with Digital Twins they can fully understand. We’d love for you to join us to help make this a reality.

Silico is VC funded, backed by Founders Factory, Forward Partners and Join Capital and has raised £4.5 million to date.
