Neura Robotics secures $1.4B funding with Tether and Nvidia backing

Neura Robotics has secured up to $1.4 billion in Series C financing to expand its humanoid robotics technology. The German company attracted backing from Tether, Qualcomm, Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank.

The funding places Neura in a stronger position as robotics startups draw fresh capital for AI-powered machines.

Neura Robotics draws major technology backers

According to the company statement, Neura Robotics raised the Series C financing to support its cognitive robotics work. The round brought together US technology firms, European industrial groups, and public investment capital. Tether joined the financing as the stablecoin issuer expands its investments beyond digital assets. 

Qualcomm, Amazon, and Nvidia also participated in the round through the latest fundraising. Bosch and Schaeffler added industrial backing from Europe, while the European Investment Bank also joined. Their participation gives the round both private technology support and institutional funding. 

A person familiar with the matter said Neura reached a valuation of about $7 billion.  The source requested anonymity because they lacked approval to discuss the private valuation. Neura declined to comment on the reported valuation when asked about the figure. The company also declined to discuss the specific milestones linked to the full funding amount.

Funding depends on company milestones

The full Series C financing could reach $1.4 billion, according to the company details. However, a person familiar with the matter said part of the amount depends on performance targets. Neura did not disclose the targets attached to the funding package. The company also did not say when it expects to receive the full amount.

The financing will support Neura’s work on humanoid robots and systems that operate in real-world environments. The company develops robots designed to move, interact, learn, and work near people. “The future of AI will not only live on screens,” founder and CEO David Reger said in a statement. He added that AI “will move, interact, learn and work beside us in the real world.”

Reger said many people believed major AI infrastructure companies could only come from Silicon Valley. He said new AI leaders can come from regions with vision, engineering talent, and execution speed.

Robotics funding reaches record level

According to Dealroom, robotics companies have raised $55.8 billion so far in 2026. Dealroom said the total has already passed last year’s record by nearly twice the amount. US and Chinese companies have collected most of the robotics funding this year, according to Dealroom. 

However, Europe has also produced new robotics companies with strong investor backing. Germany-based Agile Robots has received support from SoftBank, while Humanoid operates from the United Kingdom. Neura now adds another European robotics company to the group attracting large financing rounds.“With this financing, Neura is firmly among the global leaders in the robotics race,” Reger said.

He said the company now stands alongside major robotics groups in the United States and China. Neura did not release a product launch timeline after announcing the Series C financing. The company’s latest statement focused on its funding partners, robotics development, and AI use in physical systems.
