MicroAGI develops Atlas, a platform that records demonstration data on factory lines to train control policies in simulation and then transfer those policies onto appropriate robots. The stack is designed to be hardware- and model-agnostic, allowing policies to run on different robot makers and model providers while streaming production data back to improve the fleet. The company targets large industrial manufacturers and positions deployment — not the robot hardware — as the primary constraint. MicroAGI has rapidly expanded its team and R&D footprint, notably growing its Greater Zurich Area research center from 10 to 100 researchers and hiring across Munich, Zurich, Istanbul and London. Founded roughly ten months before the announcement, the company closed a $55M seed round, the largest seed in German history, to fund scaling and deployments.

Proxima Fusion is Europe’s leading stellarator company and the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, developing commercial fusion power plants using the QI-HTS stellarator concept. The company is building Alpha, a net-energy stellarator demonstrator targeted for the early 2030s, and plans a follow-on commercial plant called Stellaris later in the decade. Proxima leads the Alpha project in partnership with the state of Bavaria, the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and industrial partners including RWE, supported by an Alpha Alliance of more than 50 companies. Headquartered in Munich with offices in Zurich and Oxford, Proxima employs around 200 people across engineering, science and operations. Financially, Proxima has secured more than €650 million in funding to date, including about €95 million in public grants, and plans to expand engineering, manufacturing and magnet production capabilities as it advances toward demonstrator completion.

Apoha's core product is VIBE® (Variations in Inter-facial Behaviour Under Excitation), an empirical readout that captures wave patterns from minute samples suspended in liquid and subjected to controlled stresses to produce over 1,000 measured descriptors of molecular behaviour. The company says a VIBE readout can resolve many properties simultaneously within minutes and has been applied across pharma, food and materials. Apoha reports commercial collaborations and validation with partners including Boehringer Ingelheim, Ethris, plant-based food company THIS, Somru BioSciences and multiple Fortune 500 customers. The underlying science dates to research begun in 2008 by CEO Shamit Shrivastava and the company was co-founded in 2021 with COO Anshika Srivastava. Apoha holds more than 60 patents and its foundational discovery has been cited in the scientific literature over 1,500 times. The company is positioning its platform as a data layer to improve prediction, reduce late-stage failures and accelerate product development across multiple industries.
