On 10 June 2026, Neura Robotics, based in Metzingen, Germany, announced a Series C of $1.4bn. The round was led by Tether, with Qualcomm, Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler and the European Investment Bank among the backers, alongside imec.xpand, Lingotto Horizon and InterAlpen Partners. The company describes it as the largest funding round to date for an EU full-stack robotics company.
Within those bounds, Neura's round stands apart in Europe and is also outstanding globally. It is roughly 5.8 times the next largest European round in the set (CMR Surgical, $240m, 2019) and about 11 times Neura's own Series B of $123.5m, raised in January 2025, seventeen months earlier. Compared to the global top 20 funding rounds for robotics companies (series c and below), it is on par with Skild AI ($1.4bn, United States) and above Figure ($1.0bn). We now have an European company sitting at the top of a ranking otherwise led by US firms.
The open question, however, is deployment rather than financing. Neura has set a target of five million robots by 2030, spanning industry, services and the home, and is channelling the new capital into serial production and its NEURA Gyms, the training sites where new systems are tested. Chief among the new products is the 4NE-1 humanoid, which is still being prepared for series production rather than shipping at volume today.
Neura is far from the only European company pushing in this direction. Recent rounds for Agile Robots and RobCo in Germany, Sereact just up the road in Stuttgart, Exotec in France and 1X in Norway point to a robotics base that is deepening across the continent. These firms operate in a harsher environment than their US counterparts, with thinner late-stage capital and more fragmented home markets, but they show that Europe still has the capacity for continuous innovation.
