German Robotics Startup Neura Raises Approximately 1 Billion Euros in Funding, Tether Participates

Odaily News German robotics startup Neura Robotics is in the process of raising approximately 1 billion euros (around 1.2 billion USD) in funding, with stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings SA participating in the investment. The funds will be used to develop AI-driven humanoid robots. This funding round values the company at roughly 4 billion euros, with further financing rounds potentially to follow.

Headquartered in Metzingen, Germany, Neura Robotics currently sells products including factory transport robots and robotic arm devices for home use. The company's CEO, David Reger, previously stated that the company's order volume last year approached $1 billion, with customers including Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron. In January 2025, the company completed a 120 million euro funding round led by Lingotto Investment Management, a subsidiary of Exor.

This investment is the latest move in Tether's ongoing expansion beyond its crypto business. Previously, Tether has invested in brain-computer interface company Blackrock Neurotech and Italian robotics startup Generative Bionics.
