Elixr hosted the @UKHouseofLords Smart Planning Roundtable with @Pinsent_Masons and MetaConnex, uniting leaders from Parliament, development, finance & industry.
From fragmented data to unclear viability models, planning needs a smarter, connected approach.
Platforms like MetaConnex are showing what’s possible linking planning, finance & delivery data to unlock sites and accelerate regeneration. 🏗️
Insights now feed into our APPG for Smart Towns & Regions, shaping how the UK plans and delivers development at scale.
ELIXR is proud to be named to @TechNation’s Future Fifty!!
Only 50 late-stage companies are selected each year, for their proven momentum and future potential.
With alumni; @StarlingBank, @RevolutApp, @Skyscanner, @Deliveroo, @Darktrace and @Zoopla — together raising more than £16 billion.
To be recognised among this community is a proud moment for our team, and just the start of what’s ahead. 🎉
Thanks to the fantastic team at @Founders_Forum; @carolyndawson_, @brenthoberman and the team.
Elixr hosted the @UKHouseofLords Smart Retrofit Roundtable, uniting leaders from Parliament, housing, finance & industry.
From inaccurate EPCs to broken funding models, it’s clear the UK needs a smarter, data-led approach.
Live data via https://t.co/yoq1ijr9wF with @LloydsBank is proving it can save £27k per home and make housing healthier & low-carbon. 🏡
Stay tuned for our policy work via the APPG for Smart Towns and Regions.
We’re delighted to *formally* welcome Lord @garyportercbe of Spalding CBE to the Board of Elixr! 🎉
Having quietly worked with us over the past six months, Gary is already bringing invaluable insight to our mission;
With over two decades as Leader of South Holland District Council, 4 years as Chairman of the @LGAcomms, and a current seat on the @UKHouseofLords Built Environment Committee, Lord Porter brings deep, practical experience in housing, planning, and local government.
Elixr exists to unlock smarter regeneration — combining data, delivery and investment to help towns and cities thrive.
→ And Gary knows what it takes to deliver; and we’re proud to
have him helping shape the next phase of Elixr’s journey!
A VERY proud moment for us 🎉
Who knew that after years of hard work, long nights, and countless whiteboard sessions… we’d be here!
Building a National Smart Regeneration Framework
with @AECOM and @Pinsent_Masons.
And what we’ve built is so unique,
We’ve flipped traditional development on its head.
❌ Instead of councils being left to juggle planning,
consultants, funding gaps, and delivery risk;
✅ We bring it all together in one joined-up model:
with data, capital, and delivery teams fully aligned.
It’s bold, it’s ambitious — but it’s real.
With the first £500m+ project already underway.
Super grateful to our team and to the brave, future-thinking partners who’ve taken this leap of faith with us to help tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the UK today.
Feeling incredibly grateful 💜

“Developers think in 2–5 year cycles. But the impact of what they build lasts far longer.”
At our recent #ELIXR roundtable, one question kept coming up:
What would it take for developers to think 30 years ahead, not just 3?
Too often, decisions are driven by short-term returns —
but buildings, infrastructure, and communities outlast business cycles.
If we want resilient, future-proof places, we need a shift:
→ From exit strategies to legacy thinking.
→ From fast wins to long-term value.
Because the future isn’t just built —
It’s inherited.
– Jonathan Moore, @AECOM
“Buildings last 50+ years. We need more than 4 year policies.”
At our recent #ELIXR roundtable, the message was clear:
If we want infrastructure that delivers for future generations, we need policy that outlives elections.
Too often, long-term goals are derailed by short-term thinking.
But the systems we’re building: energy, housing, health all demand continuity, not constant resets.
It’s time to embed policy into place, not politics.
- Dr Shamir Ghumra, @NHSProperty
Brilliant roundtable at @UKREiiF with @Pinsent_Masons and sector leaders on the future of smart regeneration.
We discussed how #Elixr’s 30 Towns Framework can align with local and national strategies — helping councils and partners move faster from ambition to delivery, using data, finance, and integrated planning.
Thank you to all who joined us. More collaboration ahead.

As always, a lovely dinner last night amongst friends.
@garyportercbe, Tom Johnson, @MrJosephMichael
The UK built environment doesn’t need more strategy:
→ it needs delivery ←
With @ElixrEarth’s 30-town #SmartRegeneration Framework now in motion, aligning everything from A) legal and policy
B) to planning C) energy D) data E) and finance;
We’re a step closer to real delivery and getting things built.
Grateful to work with those driving real outcomes.
Thanks for another great dinner.
What does the future of AI look like when it’s built for the planet?
At Oxagon, Datavolt will develop the region’s first Net-Zero AI data center—engineered for scale, powered by clean energy.

We've just signed a major partnership agreement with a very well known Multinational Company to work on improving UK National Infrastructure.
6 months of negotiations later it's been signed — and we'll be able to talk about it very soon! @ElixrEarth@mhclg#UrbanExtension
For a vision that's bold, we've got just the plan. Designed to integrate industry and livability, our masterplan reimagines the relationship between technology, people and urban design, setting a new standard for (cont) https://t.co/xWsdbgyKRu
