The ranking evaluated eight technology vendors on a wide range of key criteria, including the strength of their individual ADMS, DERMS, EMS, GIS, and associated technologies, as well as the comprehensiveness of their total ‘grid management’ suites and the synergy between constituent products. The evaluation also examined the geographical reach and depth of each vendor’s partnerships, the extent to which their solutions are adopted by transmission and distribution operators, and the efficacy of their related sustainability, ecosystem, cybersecurity, and go-to-market strategies.

Companies assessed and ranked include:

Market Leaders: Schneider Electric, Siemens AG, GE Vernova
Mainstream:Hitachi Energy, ABB
Followers: Mitsubishi Electric Power Products Inc., Honeywell

“As capacity problems hamstring electricity networks and distributed renewable assets complicate grid management, the operational improvement and expansion of energy grids have rapidly become top priorities for operators and utilities. Consequently, technologies – from digital grid twins and AI forecasting software to virtual substations and advanced metering – which improve planning and operational efficiency have become essential. Transmission and distribution operators, as well as utilities, are increasingly seeking partnerships with vendors who offer these digital solutions,” explains Daniel Burge, Research Analyst at ABI Research.

Schneider Electric positioned first thanks to its market-leading innovations in ADMS, DERMS, OMS, energy and energy flexibility trading, virtual substations, and cybersecurity offerings. Schneider Electric also boasts exceptional market presence, a uniquely strong ecosystem approach, and a firm commitment to sustainability and sustainable improvement across its suite of energy grid solutions.

According to Burge, “Those operating energy networks are experiencing acute pressures to adapt to critical challenges – from every angle. They must plan and expand total grid capacity to account for rising demand, improve their monitoring, maintenance, and bidirectional energy management practices to accommodate for the spread of privately-owned energy assets, and handle grid congestion driven by renewable intermittency. Therefore, when digitalizing their networks, system operators will benefit most from partnerships with those vendors offering a full range of high-quality, innovative, and synergized software and hardware solutions.”

While Schneider Electric, Siemens, and GE Vernova led the overall rankings, other ranked vendors are also rapidly innovating in this relatively nascent market.

Insilico Medicine Announces Nature Medicine Publication of Phase IIa Results Evaluating Rentosertib, the Novel TNIK Inhibitor for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Discovered and Designed with a Pioneering AI Approach

  • Phase IIa study results of Rentosertib were published simultaneously in Nature Medicine(IF = 58.7) and presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025.
  • Encouraging clinical data showed that patients receiving 60 mg QD Rentosertib experienced the greatest mean improvement in lung function, as measured by forced vital capacity (FVC), with a mean change of +98.4 mL, compared to a mean decline of -20.3 mL in the placebo group.
  • Exploratory biomarkers analyses further validated the biological mechanism of TNIK, the novel target identified through a generative AI approach, supporting Rentosertib’s potential anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the pharmaceutical industry, reshaping the landscape from target identification to personalized medicine, and unlocking unprecedented opportunities to accelerate drug discovery and delivery. Despite growing adoption, only a few AI-discovered or AI-designed drug candidates have advanced to clinical trials, and even fewer have demonstrated clinical proof-of-concept.


On June 3, 2025, the industry’s first proof-of-concept clinical validation of AI-driven drug discovery was published in Nature Medicine. Insilico Medicine and collaborators reported promising safety and efficacy results from a Phase IIa trial of Rentosertib (known as ISM001-055), a TNIK inhibitor developed using Insilico’s generative AI platform, Pharma.AI, for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Additionally, the exploratory analysis of biomarkers in this paper further validated the biological mechanism of TNIK inhibition, the novel target identified through a generative AI approach, supporting Rentosertib’s potential anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

“These results not only suggest that Rentosertib has a manageable safety and tolerability profile, but also warrants further investigation in larger-scale clinical trials of longer duration, demonstrating the transformative potential of AI in drug discovery and development and paving the way for faster and more innovative therapeutic advancements,” Said Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, Founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine.

“We are thrilled that our research findings have been published in Nature Medicine. Rentosertib represents a truly innovative therapeutic, with both its target identification and molecular design powered by AI—an approach that is pioneering in the pharmaceutical industry. IPF remains a highly challenging disease with significant unmet clinical needs. This study demonstrates that Rentosertib has the potential to provide meaningful clinical benefits for IPF patients, which is truly exciting. However, the sample size in each patient group was relatively limited, and these findings will need to be validated in larger cohort studies.” said Dr. Zuojun Xu, Professor at the Peking Union Medical College and the lead investigator of the Phase IIa clinical trial of Rentosertib in IPF patients.

The Phase IIa GENESIS-IPF trial (Generative AI Enabled Novel Experimental Study of ISM001-055 in Subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) reported in this paper is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 71 patients with IPF across 22 sites in China. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either placebo, 30 mg Rentosertib once daily (QD), 30 mg twice daily (BID), or 60 mg QD for 12 weeks.

The results demonstrated that Rentosertib exhibited a manageable safety and tolerability profile, with similar rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed across all treatment groups, thereby meeting the primary endpoint. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild to moderate in severity, and serious adverse events (SAEs) were rare. Notably, all adverse events resolved following discontinuation of treatment.

Promising outcomes were also observed for the secondary efficacy endpoint, with a dose-dependent improvement in forced vital capacity (FVC), the gold-standard metric assessing lung function in IPF patients. Patients receiving 60 mg QD Rentosertib showed the greatest mean improvement in lung function, with a mean FVC increase of +98.4 mL, compared to a mean decline of -20.3 mL in the placebo group.

In addition, as an exploratory study, patient serum samples were collected throughout the trial and analyzed for protein profiles to investigate both the mechanism of action and the potential prognostic or predictive biomarkers of response to Rentosertib treatment.

The results revealed dose- and time-dependent changes in serum protein levels and FVC after 12 weeks of treatment, further supporting Rentosertib’s anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects. In the high-dose group, profibrotic proteins such as COL1A1, MMP10, and FAP were significantly reduced, while the anti-inflammatory marker IL-10 was increased. Notably, these protein changes correlated with improvements in FVC. Collectively, these findings are consistent with preclinical observations and provide valuable guidance for dose selection and biomarker identification in future clinical validations.

The data from this study were presented in oral presentations and a poster presentation at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025 International Conference. In light of these encouraging study results, Insilico has begun discussions with regulatory authorities to facilitate the prospective evaluation of Rentosertib in larger cohorts of patients.

By integrating advanced AI and automation technologies, Insilico Medicine has demonstrated significant efficiency improvements in practical applications, setting a benchmark for AI-driven drug research and development. Compared to the typical 2.5–4 years required in traditional drug discovery, Insilico’s 22 nominated candidate drugs from 2021 to 2024 took only 12–18 months on average to progress from project initiation to nomination of preclinical candidates (PCCs), with each project requiring synthesis and testing of only about 60–200 molecules. The success rate from PCC to IND-enabling stage reached 100%.

About Rentosertib (Known as ISM001-055)

Rentosertib is a potentially first-in-class small molecule targeting TNIK developed utilizing generative AI. In IPF, the activation of TNIK drives pathological fibrosis in the lungs, contributing to the progressive decline in lung function. By inhibiting TNIK, Rentosertib aims to halt or reverse fibrotic processes, offering a disease-modifying treatment for patients with IPF. The history of discovery, design and development including target discovery, generative chemistry, multiple in-vitro and in-vivo experiments as well as the results of Phase I clinical studies in human volunteers were published in a Nature Biotechnology article in March 2024.

About Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, scarring lung disease characterized by a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function. Affecting approximately 5 million people worldwide, IPF carries a poor prognosis, with a median survival of 3 to 4 years. Current approved treatments, including antifibrotic drugs, can slow disease progression but do not stop or reverse it, leaving a significant unmet need for more effective, disease-modifying therapies.
