The company notes that businesses operating globally must navigate complex, ever-changing regulations across markets. Even a product like a connected bike helmet may require compliance with hundreds of rules, from material standards and certifications to labelling and customs requirements.

Cleo Labs emphasises that non-compliance costs companies billions each year through recalls, fines, and shipment delays yet many still rely on spreadsheets or inadequate tools to manage these challenges.

With this funding, the company aims to accelerate its technological development to strengthen platform capabilities and expand its feature set. It will also support commercial expansion in Europe its primary strategic market, while laying the groundwork for international growth, particularly in the United States. The company counts Decathlon and Electrolux Professional among its clients.

“Our ambition is to transform regulatory compliance currently seen as a constraint into a strategic lever for companies. Thanks to AI, it becomes possible to anticipate rather than react,” says Naomie Halioua, co-founder of Cleo Labs.

“Today, teams still spend considerable time manually analysing complex and evolving regulations, often using spreadsheets or inadequate tools. With Cleo, we enable them to gain speed, reliability, and processing capacity by automating these processes at scale,” said Anaëlle Guez, co-founder of Cleo Labs
