Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Joins $1.2B Round for Germany's Neura Robotics

Metzingen-based robotics startup Neura Robotics has secured approximately $1.2 billion in funding, with participation from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani and Amazon, in a round that could value the German robotics company at around $4.62 billion.

The startup is focused on developing AI-powered humanoid robots for industrial and household applications, with the new capital aimed at accelerating product development and scaling deployment.

The funding round also included investors such as Qualcomm Ventures, Tether, Robert Bosch GmbH, Schaeffler AG and Roland Berger.

Neura Robotics is developing bipedal robots capable of lifting heavy objects, sorting items and automating repetitive tasks, positioning itself within a growing global push to integrate artificial intelligence into logistics and manufacturing.

Sheikh Hamad participated in the round through Prime Capital, his Luxembourg-based investment vehicle, now managed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani.

The company reported close to $1 billion in orders in the past year, with clients including Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron. Its existing product line includes industrial transport robots and robotic arms designed for household use, with deployments already demonstrated in manufacturing environments.

The investment reflects growing interest in humanoid robotics, with companies such as Figure AI, Dexterity and Apptronik also advancing similar technologies.

Analysts project that AI-powered robotics and autonomous systems could become a trillion-dollar market by 2035, as companies expand applications across industrial and consumer sectors.
