Finnish construction technology company Hyperion Robotics has secured $7.4 million in growth funding to expand its robotic microfactory network across Europe and advance its AI-powered manufacturing platform.
Hyperion Robotics, a Finland-based physical AI company, has raised $7.4 million in a growth funding round. The investment will help the company scale its robotic microfactories across Europe and strengthen its manufacturing software platform.
The round was co-led by Course Corrected and the European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund). In addition, RE Ventures, part of the Romande Energie Group, joined the round alongside existing investors Lifeline Ventures, Übermorgen Ventures, and PC Rettig Impact & Co.
Hyperion Robotics develops robotic manufacturing technology for infrastructure projects. Instead of relying on traditional construction sites, the company produces infrastructure components in factory environments located close to project locations.
Its core technology is Forge, a software platform that combines design, structural engineering, regulatory compliance, robotics, and factory operations into one integrated system. As a result, manufacturers can manage production through a single digital workflow.
According to Hyperion Robotics, its robotic microfactories can manufacture infrastructure components up to three times faster than conventional construction methods.
Furthermore, the company says its technology can reduce production costs by up to 50%, lower carbon emissions by up to 70%, and use up to 75% less material. These gains come from shifting production away from labour-intensive construction sites to digitally managed factory facilities.
The newly raised capital will support the launch of Forge I, Hyperion Robotics' first microfactory in the United Kingdom. The facility, located in Flixborough near Scunthorpe, is being developed in partnership with LKAB.
Once operational, the microfactory will manufacture infrastructure components for sectors such as energy, utilities, water, data centres, and carbon capture.
Fernando De los Rios, CEO of Hyperion Robotics, said the funding will help the company expand factory-based manufacturing as Europe addresses ageing infrastructure, labour shortages, budget pressures, and decarbonisation goals.
Besides expanding its manufacturing footprint, Hyperion Robotics will also use the investment to further develop the Forge platform and support its growth across European infrastructure markets.
