FLEXOO secures Series A funding to scale its Physical AI platform globally

25.02.2026

FLEXOO, a pioneer in physical AI sensor technology, has successfully closed its Series A funding round, raising a total investment of €11M. Lead investors are eCAPITAL and AUMOVIO. The funds will drive FLEXOO’s global business with customers that are internationally leading in the battery storage and automotive industries. Additionally, it will enable FLEXOO to continuously build its Physical AI sensor platform, which combines ultra-thin, free-form sensors with edge AI computing, and tackle new markets.

Physical AI: Closing the gap between industrial intelligence and autonomous systems

FLEXOO addresses the core challenge of Physical AI: AI algorithms require precise, real-time physical data from technical systems. FLEXOO’s ultra-thin, flexible, and modular sensor platform integrates seamlessly into any surface or space - economically viable and patent-protected.

FLEXOO’s core technologies:

  • Ultra-thin sensors (<200 μm): Invisible integration into batteries, automotive components, and many other electronic applications
  • Free-form factor: Technology stack relies on high-volume printing manufacturing, enabling almost any geometry
  • World-leading tactile sensor: Highest accuracy and reliability

AI algorithms receive the most precise real-time operational data from any device or system. Validation with leading battery manufacturers showcases capacity improvements of up to 5% without battery redesign or new chemistry. FLEXOO’s ability to capture real-time data directly at the cell level is a breakthrough, which conventional systems cannot achieve, providing higher-level AI control systems with unique insights. Additionally, early warning systems can now be implemented to avoid battery failures. This is only one example of many use cases customers are evaluating.

Scaling Physical AI – FLEXOO’s perspective

“FLEXOO sensors make Physical AI possible: Only ultra-thin, free-form sensor technology bridges the gap between physical hardware and learning algorithms,” explains Dr. Michael Kröger, Founding CEO of FLEXOO. “With eCAPITAL and AUMOVIO as investors, we are scaling a patented technology for a multi-billion-dollar market.”

Strategic investors – Patents as global advantage

Hannes Schill, Managing Partner, eCAPITAL ENTREPRENEURIAL PARTNERS: “The world is pouring billions into AI models, yet starving them of the physical data they need. FLEXOO closes that gap. What underpins our conviction is a scalable platform technology - a validated stack from R&D to deployment - and a targeted go‑to‑market with a tangible customer pipeline in large industries that have a clear need for reliable, real‑time sensor intelligence. The interplay of the most precise tactile sensor in the market and the Physical AI platform is unique and cannot easily be replicated. It strongly aligns with our ambition to back visionary deep‑tech companies that deliver lasting impact, particularly across sustainability and IoT.”

 

Dr. Otmar Schreiner Managing Director co-pace GmbH, Head of Innovation and Ventures, AUMOVIO: “What stood out to us about FLEXOO is how broadly applicable their technology is across industries, combined with a cost structure that makes large-scale deployment viable. Their highly efficient mass production enables exceptional price-performance, unlocking new design freedom and product concepts. In Automotive, this creates scalable use cases that were not feasible before.”

With the Series A closing FLEXOO accelerates in 2026 towards:

  • Its international sales and customer support expansion
  • Securing high-value supply contracts
  • Delivering prototypes of the advanced Physical AI platform to close partners
  • Securing foundational IP for its Physical AI platform and dexterous sensing
