Jua is a frontier AI lab building a foundation model for reality. We started with the atmosphere and set the global benchmark for weather and energy prediction, outperforming every incumbent including the institution that defined the field for forty years. Today, our agent Athena drives decisions on energy trading desks worldwide. Language models learned the digital world from text. The physical world is larger, older, and governed by different laws. It needs a different model. The last three years transformed everything we do on a screen. But the physical world is where most of our economy actually lives. It is where our energy comes from, where our families live, where the decisions that shape real life are made. AI has barely touched it. Our foundation model learns the dynamics that govern the physical world directly from data, and because physics is shared across domains, that understanding transfers: from the atmosphere to fluid dynamics to any system governed by the same fundamental laws. The last three years changed everything we do on a screen. The next three years will change everything else.

Decade Energy develops energy storage, charging, and software solutions that secures power for electric fleets at the lowest possible cost. Fleet electrification requires large, reliable volumes of electricity, yet across Europe grid capacity is increasingly the limiting factor. Long connection timelines, constrained infrastructure, and volatile energy prices put fleet operations and growth at risk. Decade Energy solves this by securing long-term power capacity directly at depot sites. We design, install, and operate batteries, charging infrastructure, and software as one integrated system—ensuring every kilowatt is used efficiently and when it creates the most value. Our customers secure the power they need tomorrow, today. We bear the full investment, enabling electrification with zero upfront cost, while unlocking new revenue streams through EV charging services and optimized use of site space. Backed by experience supporting major European logistics real estate and transport companies, our team brings together leaders in electric mobility, renewable energy infrastructure, and software. The result are electric truck charging hubs—the #DepotOfTheFuture—powered, profitable, and ready to scale.
