Midwich Ignite has made a strategic investment in Ciqurix to help achieve accreditation under the new fire standard LPS1976.
Ciqurix’s solutions are designed to detect fire in challenging environments where traditional heat or smoke detection is ineffective.
The Ciqurix CORE product is a system that uses infrared and video analytics to detect fire with accuracy and range, and will be the only accredited product on the market.
Midwich Ignite acted as lead investor in the funding round and will take a seat on the board.
Will Fenby, Investment Manager at Midwich Ignite, said: “We have been impressed by the team’s approach to fire safety technology, with the company instrumental in drafting the new standard for VFDs, and believe the business is well-placed to take advantage of new regulatory tailwinds.”
