Permutable selected for TotalEnergies On Accelerator to advance AI market intelligence for energy markets

Permutable has been selected to join the latest TotalEnergies On Accelerator cohort, recognising its AI market intelligence platform for energy, commodity and macroeconomic markets. The programme brings together innovative startups and one of the world’s leading energy companies to explore technologies that can support the future energy landscape.

We are delighted to announce that Permutable has been selected to join the latest cohort of the TotalEnergies On Accelerator, a global innovation programme supporting high-potential startups developing technologies that can help shape the future of energy.

Recognition for AI market intelligence

Permutable’s selection recognises our work in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to transform global news and information flows into transparent, actionable and explainable AI market intelligence.

Energy, commodity and macroeconomic markets are now influenced by a wider range of variables than ever before. Geopolitical developments, supply disruptions, policy shifts, macroeconomic pressure, trade flows, sanctions, weather events and changing demand expectations can all influence price formation and market behaviour. At the same time, the volume of information available to market participants has increased dramatically, making it harder to identify what is material, what is noise and what is changing in real time.

Our Intelligence Engine has been designed to address this challenge by converting unstructured global news flow into structured intelligence that can be analysed, tested and integrated into institutional workflows. By combining large-scale multilingual data processing with proprietary AI models, sentiment analytics and point-in-time methodology, we help our clients monitor market narratives as they evolve.

Addressing complexity in global energy markets

Energy and commodity markets are increasingly shaped by fast-moving news, geopolitical developments, supply disruptions, trade dynamics and macroeconomic uncertainty. This is where AI market intelligence can provide an additional layer of context, helping institutional teams identify which signals matter and how market narratives are shifting.

Traditional market data remains essential, but it often reflects what has already happened. News, policy commentary, regional reporting and cross-market narratives can provide earlier indications of emerging risks and changing sentiment. However, this information is often fragmented across sources, languages and geographies.

At Permutable, we address this challenge by converting unstructured news flow into structured, point-in-time intelligence. This enables organisations to better understand emerging risks, market narratives and changing sentiment across energy, commodity and macroeconomic markets.

The result is an additional layer of contextual intelligence that can support research, monitoring, risk identification and investment analysis. Rather than replacing existing market data, our technology is designed to complement it by helping users understand the drivers behind market movement.

How Permutable’s Intelligence Engine works

Permutable’s Intelligence Engine is the foundation of our AI market intelligence capability, continuously analyses thousands of news articles across multiple languages, regions and source types. It classifies information into commodity, macroeconomic and geopolitical themes before transforming those signals into structured, explainable outputs.

These outputs can be delivered through APIs, dashboards and data feeds, allowing institutional teams to integrate Permutable’s intelligence into their existing research, trading, risk and data workflows.

A key part of our approach is transparency. Our platform is built to help users understand not only that a signal has changed, but also what is contributing to that change. This is particularly important in energy and commodity markets, where the same price movement may be driven by different combinations of geopolitical risk, supply pressure, demand expectations, policy developments or macroeconomic sentiment.

Our AI market intelligence supports market monitoring, investment analysis, research workflows and systematic decision-making across energy and commodity markets while our point-in-time structure also enables users to analyse how narratives evolved historically, supporting backtesting, research validation and signal development.

Founder comment

Wilson Chan, Founder and CEO of Permutable, said: “We’re delighted to be joining the TotalEnergies On Accelerator at a time when energy markets are becoming more interconnected, more volatile and increasingly influenced by global information flows.

“We believe AI has an important role to play in helping organisations understand not just what is happening, but why markets are moving. Our focus has always been on building transparent intelligence that converts unstructured global news into decision-ready insights.

“Working alongside TotalEnergies gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how explainable AI can support earlier risk identification, deeper market understanding and more confident decision-making across the energy sector.”

A milestone in Permutable’s growth

Participation in the TotalEnergies On Accelerator aligns closely with Permutable’s long-term vision of building institutional-grade intelligence infrastructure for energy, commodity and macroeconomic markets.

The programme provides an opportunity to explore how Permutable’s technology can support real-world energy market use cases, from monitoring emerging risks and regional supply dynamics to identifying shifts in policy sentiment, commodity narratives and macroeconomic pressure.

For Permutable, this recognition comes at a time of continued product development and market momentum as we work to make complex global information more usable for institutional teams that need to make decisions in uncertain and fast-moving environments.

Supporting the energy markets of the future

The future of energy markets will require better tools for understanding complexity. As energy systems evolve and markets become more interconnected, decision-makers will need to interpret a broader set of signals across policy, supply chains, geopolitics, macroeconomic conditions and regional market developments.

Permutable’s technology is designed to support this shift by providing a structured intelligence layer that helps analysts, traders, researchers and strategic teams identify changes in market conditions before they become fully reflected in conventional datasets.

This is especially relevant in energy and commodity markets, where early understanding of narrative shifts can support better risk monitoring, more informed research and more confident decision-making.

Building on our recent recognition as Hedgeweek’s Technology Provider of the Year: Innovation, participation in the TotalEnergies On Accelerator represents another important milestone in Permutable’s growth and its commitment to developing practical AI solutions for one of the world’s most strategically important industries.

As part of the cohort, Permutable looks forward to engaging with TotalEnergies and the wider accelerator ecosystem to explore how our AI-native market intelligence can support the future of energy decision-making.
