Record-Breaking $1.4B Investment in German Humanoid Robot Maker NEURA Backed by Nvidia & Amazon
On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, German humanoid robotics startup NEURA Robotics announced the closure of a Series C funding round, amassing up to a staggering $1.4 billion. This investment is hailed as the largest ever for a full-stack robotics company, highlighting the intense global competition to integrate AI into our physical world.
The funding round was spearheaded by crypto stablecoin titan Tether. Other prominent backers included Nvidia, Amazon, Qualcomm Technologies, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank. An insider revealed that this deal catapults the valuation of the Metzingen-based startup to an impressive $7 billion, a significant leap from a €4 billion valuation reported earlier this year. The full $1.4 billion investment hinges on NEURA’s achievement of undisclosed performance milestones.
Established in 2019, NEURA Robotics currently employs approximately 1,200 individuals. The company is at the forefront of developing cognitive humanoids and robotic systems designed to work in harmony with humans across various sectors, including industrial, logistics, healthcare, and service environments. Their flagship robot, the 4NE-1, carries a price tag of around €98,000 and is slated for mass shipping in late 2026. NEURA’s ambitious goal is to manufacture 5 million robots by 2030. Currently, the company boasts an order backlog exceeding $1 billion.
This investment comes at a time when global robotics funding is reaching unprecedented heights. Data from Dealroom indicates that robotics companies have raised a record-breaking $55.8 billion in 2026 alone — nearly double the previous year’s record. This trend signifies a shift in capital from AI software towards machines capable of operating in the real world.
