  • NavVis

    Participated · Series D · Aug 2026

    NavVis provides survey-grade mobile reality capture systems (NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX) and an enterprise cloud platform, NavVis IVION, which together create and manage spatial twins of industrial plants, construction sites and buildings. The company says it captures and processes large volumes of spatial data at roughly 10x the speed of traditional methods and that more than two billion square meters now live on its platform, with more than a billion square meters added in 2025 alone. Over 150,000 users across engineering, maintenance and construction teams rely on NavVis, and the firm counts over 1,500 customers in more than 50 countries, including BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, ExxonMobil and Siemens. NavVis has partnerships with technology providers such as SAP, NVIDIA and Autodesk and highlights use cases from reducing downtime to enabling robotics planning and training industrial foundational models. With the Series D funding, NavVis plans to scale its capture infrastructure, expand spatial data turnover, deepen its AI and intelligence layer, and grow its market presence, particularly in the U.S.
