German firm Neura Robotics raises up to €1.2 billion from Nvidia, Amazon and others

The funding round includes investments from major companies and institutions such as Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, NVIDIA, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank, among others.

Last year, in January, NEURA Robotics raised €120 million in a Series B funding round led by Lingotto Investment Management.

NEURA Robotics said it will use the new funding to speed up the global rollout of its cognitive robots and humanoid robots, expand its Neuraverse platform, launch NEURA Gyms, increase manufacturing capacity, and develop advanced Physical AI technologies.

The company is also expanding its production capabilities and aims to manufacture several million robots by 2030. It plans to deploy its humanoid robot, 4NE1, on a large scale for industrial customers, starting with industries that have the greatest demand. In addition, NEURA Robotics is expanding its operations beyond Europe into major markets such as the United States, China, and Japan.

“The future of AI will not only live on screens. It will move, interact, learn and work beside us in the real world. We believe Physical AI and cognitive robotics will become one of the largest technology shifts of the coming decades, transforming industries ranging from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare, services and household robotics,” said David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics.

“In the future, people will not only ask what AI can say. They will ask what AI can physically do,” added Reger.

“Many believed globally relevant AI infrastructure companies could only emerge from Silicon Valley. We believe the next generation of AI leaders can emerge anywhere in the world where there is enough vision, engineering talent and execution speed. With this financing, NEURA is firmly among the global leaders in the robotics race, alongside the best in the US and China. At the end, this is not only about robotics. It is about building technologies the world will depend on,” Reger noted.

Nicola Beer, Vice President of European Investment Bank, said, “By backing NEURA Robotics, the European Investment Bank is putting serious European firepower behind the next wave of physical AI and cognitive robotics. Through TechEU Europe’s most innovative mid-caps can access patient capital they need to turn cutting-edge research into globally competitive products and skilled jobs here in Europe. From safer factories and smarter logistics to entirely new services, NEURA’s open Neuraverse platform will help thousands of robots learn from each other in real time – accelerating innovation, strengthening Europe’s technological autonomy and turning AI into tangible benefits for workers and businesses.”

Founded in 2019 by David Reger, NEURA Robotics is a robotics and Physical AI company that develops intelligent machines designed to learn, adapt, and work alongside humans in real-world environments. Its robots are equipped with capabilities such as seeing, hearing, sensing, and learning, supported by the software, AI systems, and data infrastructure needed to deploy them at scale.

The company is building a shared intelligence platform called the Neuraverse, where cognitive robots can continuously learn, collaborate, and operate across different real-world settings.

According to NEURA Robotics, its approach differs from traditional robotics companies that focus on individual machines or specific industrial tasks. Instead, it combines robotics, artificial intelligence, sensors, edge computing, and large-scale learning systems into a single platform designed for global use.
