London-based Procure AI has built an end-to-end, AI-native procurement platform that overlays existing fragmented data systems rather than replacing them. The product uses more than 50 intelligent agents—autonomous, collaborative and ambient—to automate sourcing, contracting, purchasing and invoice management. Flagship modules such as Autonomous Spot-Buy and Tactical Sourcing have delivered 35–46 % time reductions and 3.7–5.2 % savings per event, while its Quote-to-Order Intake feature autonomously handles roughly 60 % of requests. Acting as a secure procurement data layer, the platform aims to provide measurable cost savings and rapid ROI for enterprises facing budget and headcount constraints. Co-founders Konstantin von Bueren and Yves Bauer emphasize the system’s ability to enrich existing data landscapes, positioning the company as a partner rather than a replacement vendor. Following its latest funding, Procure AI plans to scale its engineering team and bolster go-to-market efforts, expanding beyond its initial DACH focus into the UK, Nordics, Benelux and France. The recent $13 million seed round brings the company’s total disclosed funding to that amount and will finance these growth initiatives.

Headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, Energy Robotics offers a full-stack, hardware-agnostic operating system that integrates with eight leading robot and drone manufacturers to automate visual inspections, thermal scans, and leak detection in energy, chemical, industrial, and utility facilities. The platform’s AI analytics library interprets multimodal sensor data, an LLM-driven mission control generates and executes inspection tasks, and each mission updates an evergreen digital twin that feeds directly into customer workflows. To date, the company has logged more than one million inspections across five continents for clients such as Shell, BP, Repsol, BASF, Merck, and E.ON, saving over 32,000 hours of hazardous human labor and cutting operating costs by up to 40%. Its emphasis on data privacy keeps sensitive inspection data within customer-controlled IT systems, while early gas-leak detection contributes to emissions reduction. Energy Robotics targets the growing need for safer, more efficient maintenance of aging industrial assets amid a shrinking skilled workforce. The new capital will be used to scale commercial deployment across energy, chemicals, industrial, and security sectors.
