Germany's Neura Robotics secured up to $1.4 billion in funding from Amazon, Nvidia, and the European Investment Bank to accelerate its physical artificial intelligence platform. The Munich-based company plans to scale production to millions of robots by 2030, targeting manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and consumer markets.

The funding round includes backing from Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Bosch and Schaeffler, signaling strong institutional confidence in cognitive robotics. Neura already reports an order backlog exceeding $1 billion, suggesting commercial demand validates its technology approach.

The company will commercialize cognitive robots and humanoids while developing real-world training networks for AI systems. This positions Neura among Europe's most ambitious robotics ventures as physical AI emerges as a distinct market segment.

The investment reflects growing corporate appetite for embodied AI solutions beyond traditional software applications. With manufacturing and logistics sectors actively seeking automation, Neura's capital raise could accelerate European competition against U.S. and Asian robotics leaders.
