Founded in 2023, Oceanloop develops modular, software-driven recirculating aquaculture systems that integrate RAS engineering, marine biology, water treatment, software, digital monitoring and laboratory services. The company emerged from a merger that included Crusta Nova and the marine RAS expertise of Sander through acquisitions, and operates in Germany and Spain. Oceanloop became the first company to farm Giant Grouper in Europe, beginning commercial sales from its Strande farm near Kiel in April 2026 with an expected output of approximately 20–30 tons per year. It has designated Giant Grouper as its lead species and plans a 250-ton farm in Kiel and a 2,000-ton commercial facility on Gran Canaria as part of its rollout. Oceanloop’s sister company and seafood brand Honest Catch supplies consumers and wholesale partners across the DACH region and acts as a wholesale partner for the Giant Grouper. The company will continue R&D in land-based shrimp farming and is engaging potential partners for licensing, strategic partnerships and joint ventures for regional shrimp production.

WISE develops implantable, stretchable electronic electrodes using its proprietary Supersonic Technology to create ultra-thin elastomeric foils that aim to improve tissue conformability, softness, adhesion and signal sensing versus rigid electrodes. Its lead product in the round, the Heron lead, is a spinal cord stimulation device designed to deliver targeted directional stimulation via a minimally invasive percutaneous implant technique and to combine the precision of paddle leads with the procedural ease of cylindrical leads. WISE also markets the WISE Cortical Strip, a soft and stretchable electrode for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring that has CE marking under MDR, FDA clearance, and is commercially available in Europe, the U.S., and Australia. The company plans to use the Series D proceeds to complete the Heron lead’s regulatory certification pathway, fund a first-in-human study, and scale commercialization of its electrode portfolio across target markets. The company positions its technology to support higher energy efficiency, improved anatomical coverage, better neural signal sensing, and reduced lead migration. The financing coincided with governance updates, including the appointment of Laura Iris Ferro as Chairperson and the addition of Giuseppe Corvino to the board.

Founded in 2019 by David Reger in Metzingen, Germany, NEURA Robotics builds ‘cognitive’ robots that can see, hear, sense their surroundings and learn from experience. The company integrates sensors, AI software and robotic hardware into single devices, likening its machines to a “smartphone with arms and legs.” In addition to hardware, it offers the Neuraverse software platform, which enables the safe deployment and interaction of intelligent robots with humans. NEURA serves both industrial and consumer markets and has disclosed nearly $1 billion worth of purchase orders from customers such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron. Management is focused on accelerating humanoid robot development and scaling production capacity. Financially, the firm previously secured €120 million in January 2025 and is now pursuing a much larger raise to fund expansion. If successful, the new round could push the company’s valuation to approximately €4 billion.
