International capital eyes Chinese robots: Flexiv Technology receives long-term investment from Invus.
```
On March 9, All-weather Technology learned from the general-purpose intelligent robot company NEXA Robotics that it has completed a new round of financing.
It is understood that this round of financing was led by Invus, a global long-term capital institution, with Atma Capital, Aofei Group, and other institutions and industrial investors participating, while existing shareholders continued to invest.
As a global investment institution, Invus has major offices in New York, Paris, and Hong Kong. Since its establishment in 1985, its capital has come entirely from a single European family group, adopting an evergreen capital structure and ongoing capital investment model for long-term planning, with assets under management exceeding $12 billion.
An insider at NEXA Robotics told All-weather Technology: “Invus has an extensive investment and industrial network in Europe, America, and Asia, which will help us expand our customers and partners in overseas markets.”
“The robotics industry requires long-term investment, and Invus's evergreen capital structure can support enterprise development from a more long-term perspective. This is also crucial for the company to continue building its sales and service systems overseas,” the person noted.
This round of financing is mainly used for the continuous development and core technology R&D of the general intelligent base platform, mass promotion of general-purpose robot products, and improvement of global sales and service systems.
NEXA Robotics has developed an integrated software and hardware architecture, giving robots human-like dexterous operational capabilities in unstructured environments. It has already been widely applied in industries such as mobility, electronics, and general industry.
All-weather Technology notes that this is not Invus’s first investment in a Chinese robotics company.
As early as 2019, Invus participated in the angel round financing of the robot-made milk tea brand “Tea Monster,” with an investment of 23 million RMB.
From the initial foray into specific consumer service scenarios in the early days, to now leading investments in underlying robot platforms with general intelligence capabilities, the evolution of Invus’s investment trajectory in China reflects the deepening and upgrading of international long-term investment institutions' layouts in the Chinese robotics sector.
Currently, the robotics industry is at a key turning point from concept to scaled commercial implementation. How NEXA Robotics will leverage the global collaborative advantage of overseas capital to open up commercial space internationally is attracting attention.
