The start-up wants to raise at least half a billion euros soon. This should ensure its international success. Company boss David Reger wants to be able to compete with Tesla.

Berlin. The German robotics start-up Neura Robotics wants to become a global market leader with its robots. "Our goal is to become the next internationally successful multi-billion corporation after SAP that comes from Germany," explains CEO David Reger in an interview with Handelsblatt.
However, there is still a long way to go. The company is not disclosing how many robots Neura has already produced and sold. Reger only reveals that the order backlog currently stands at more than one billion euros.
In order to keep up with the US provider Figure AI and the "Optimus" robots from Tesla and to be able to scale further, the Metzingen-based company first needs more money. "It's clear that we need to raise new capital," says Reger, at least a "mid three-digit million amount". This would make Neura Robotics the second robotics unicorn in Germany - after its competitor Agile Robots from Munich - and value it at well over one billion euros.
However, Reger does not want to stop there and adds: "The next round will certainly be one of the biggest that Europe has ever seen." For comparison: AI defense start-up Helsing has already raised 600 million euros this year. And Wayve, the British specialist for autonomous driving, even received more than one billion dollars last year.
But first Reger wants to convince the public of the capabilities of his robots. At the Ifa technology and industry trade fair in Berlin, which starts on Friday, Neura Robotics wants to present its two most important products, the household robot "Mipa" and the humanoid robot "4NE1". And unlike at the Automatica trade fair in Munich in June, the 4NE1 will also be running.
Ladies and gentlemen, can GFT also benefit from this?
