Eigen Control was selected for the 9th Repsol Foundation Entrepreneurs Fund accelerator, a competitive program supporting technology companies developing solutions for the energy industry and advanced mobility.
The selection recognized Eigen Control's work applying artificial intelligence to distillation unit operations, one of the most important and energy-intensive areas of refining and petrochemical production. Repsol Foundation lists Eigen Control Inc. in its startup directory under Operations and Maintenance, describing the company as applying AI to distillation unit operations.
Distillation units are central to product quality, yield, energy consumption, and plant profitability. Yet many operating decisions still depend on delayed lab measurements, slow analyzer cycles, and incomplete visibility into live product composition. Eigen Control develops industrial AI systems designed to convert existing plant data into real-time operational intelligence for quality inference, control support, and process optimization.
For Eigen Control, the Repsol Foundation accelerator represented important external validation of the company's technical direction: AI systems built for real industrial constraints, real process equipment, and high-value operating decisions.
The 2020 accelerator cohort included six startups selected from a large international pool of applicants. Contemporary coverage reported that the selected companies received business and technical support, access to experienced mentors, and the opportunity to explore prototype validation with Repsol professionals and industrial facilities.
Eigen Control's participation aligned with a broader industry shift toward digitalization, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled operations in energy infrastructure. The company's focus remains clear: helping operators improve live visibility, reduce measurement delay, support better control decisions, and unlock more value from existing process assets.
