German startup Neura Robotics has closed approximately €1 billion ($1.2 billion) in funding, marking one of the largest capital injections in European robotics history. The round, finalized in March 2026, values the company at roughly €4 billion, a significant leap from its €120 million valuation in early 2025.
Tether Holdings led the investment consortium, which includes Amazon, Qualcomm Ventures, Bosch, Schaeffler, and affiliates of Qatari billionaire Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. Founded in 2019 by David Reger in Metzingen, Neura specializes in AI-powered humanoid robots designed for safe human collaboration.
The company’s flagship 4NE-1 robot and Neuraverse software platform have already secured €1 billion in pre-orders. Neura aims to manufacture 5 million units by 2030. Strategic partners bring distinct advantages: Amazon offers logistics integration, Qualcomm provides edge-AI chip expertise, while Bosch and Schaeffler contribute industrial manufacturing capabilities.
Tether’s participation highlights the stablecoin issuer’s aggressive diversification into AI and physical infrastructure beyond crypto. While earlier discussions hinted at valuations up to €10 billion, the final €4 billion figure suggests conservative terms to preserve future upside. This capital positions Neura as a top-tier global player amid surging venture interest in robotics driven by labor shortages in manufacturing and healthcare.
