On October 6, 2025, Johnson Controls announced a strategic investment in Accelsius, a provider of two‑phase direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling systems for data centers. The investment was disclosed in a press release earlier that day and is part of Johnson Controls’ broader strategy to strengthen its data‑center cooling portfolio amid growing demand for energy‑efficient solutions.
Accelsius, founded by Innventure, specializes in two‑phase, direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling technology that can reduce operational expenditures by up to 35% and total cost of ownership by 8–17% compared with single‑phase solutions. The investment is expected to accelerate the deployment of Accelsius’ NeuCool platform across high‑density AI and HPC workloads, complementing Johnson Controls’ existing YORK® YVAM magnetic bearing chiller and Silent‑Aire Coolant Distribution Unit offerings.
The investment was accompanied by a private placement of Innventure common stock and warrants, generating gross proceeds of $9.75 million. Additionally, Innventure announced the issuance of convertible debentures to Yorkville with a principal amount of up to $15 million, providing working capital to support ongoing operations. The partnership positions Johnson Controls to capture a larger share of the data‑center cooling market, which is projected to grow as AI workloads intensify.
By integrating Accelsius’ liquid cooling technology, Johnson Controls can offer a more comprehensive thermal management solution that reduces non‑IT energy consumption by more than 50% in North American data‑center hubs, according to the company. This move strengthens Johnson Controls’ competitive edge in the high‑growth data‑center vertical and aligns with its goal of delivering sustainable, high‑performance building solutions.
