Other notable 2026 rounds include Germany's NEURA Robotics (reportedly around €1.2 billion), Stuttgart-based Sereact (€93 million) and Warsaw-based Nomagic (€8.3 million), pointing to a European industrial-robotics and physical-AI funding wave spanning several Member States, including Poland. Analysts note the field is likely to consolidate around a smaller number of category leaders across the US, Europe and China in the coming years.
