Mapping the road to commercial and scalable physical AI
One room: robotics, industry, investors and technology partners.One shared goal: identifying what drives real business impact.
01/ Why
raised by robotics startups worldwide in the first six months of 2026, more than in all of 2025.
But Europe's robotics ecosystem is fragmented and underfunded
Munich has the robotics talent, industrial demand, research and capital to build a connecting layer for physical AI that can compete. At this roundtable, we bring them together.
Robotics
Strong in R&D, far from use cases
Go-to-market, commercialization and scaling are rarely in focus. Many work in isolation on technology, without connection to the use cases of industry.
Industry & SMEs
Strong demand, unclear picture
Skills shortages, demographic change and AI adoption create real demand, but a clear understanding of what is possible today is missing.
Investors
No realistic overview
A realistic overview of the current robotics ecosystem and of what actually scales is missing.
- Real-world data
- Sim-to-real gap
- Safety
- Deployment
- Hardware sourcing & Chinese competition
- Go-to-market
- 5,500+members
- 50+contributing companies & organizations from robotics, industry and research
Based in Munich since 2024, we turn community know-how into business value in AI & deep tech, one domain at a time.
Building on curated in-person matching of decision-makers, domain experts, investors and technology partners, we create a repeatable process that helps companies accelerate R&D, build commercial products and scale their business.
