Aster Capital, an international venture capital firm specialising in clean tech led the transaction alongside Ombu Group, a UK investment company committed to backing high growth technology businesses. In addition to the capital raised, the deal also allows Iceotope to establish close cooperation with Aster's strategic sponsors, particularly Schneider Electric.

This investment represents a significant step in allowing Iceotope to further commercialise its innovative cooling solutions for the £250bn global data centre and High Performance Computing (HPC) markets. It will help the company hire more staff, expand into new geographies and add to its current product ecosystem; furthermore, it will enable Iceotope to target larger transactions and more ambitious supercomputing projects.

"This really is the deal of the century for us" said Iceotope founder and CEO, Peter Hopton.

"As a start-up in the north of England, it's fantastic that Iceotope's technology has attracted the investment of an international consortium. We strongly believe that our technology has the potential to revolutionise the HPC and data centre industry and we're thrilled that it's not gone unnoticed. The support provided by our new investors, along with a new partnership opportunity with Schneider Electric, will have a big impact on the development of the company and will allow Iceotope to build a global product ecosystem based on Iceotope liquid cooling platform."
