Embedd develops a platform that turns chip documentation into digital twins of hardware to accelerate software integration across devices such as robots, vehicles, drones and medical devices. The company says its platform reduces firmware and integration timelines from months to roughly three weeks and can deliver production-ready software for a given chip up to six times faster than manual processes. Embedd launched commercially in April 2026 and has already signed semiconductor customers, including Microchip Technology, to enable support for ecosystems like the Zephyr real-time operating system. The startup was founded by Ukrainian entrepreneurs Michael Lazarenko, Maxim Gorinov, and Valentin Gololobov, who previously ran a hardware company together. With the $2.7 million pre-seed funding led by Seedcamp, Embedd plans to expand its platform and deepen partnerships with semiconductor companies as it pursues broader adoption in robotics, automotive, manufacturing and medical device markets.

Almetra develops a manufacturing intelligence platform that combines AI-powered overhead cameras, machine data, IT systems and operator knowledge into a single source of operational intelligence for production lines. Its cameras process video locally to produce structured metrics such as cycle times, output rates and equipment utilisation, with built-in worker privacy through anonymisation and retention of only short randomized snippets for root-cause analysis. The companys proprietary models are trained specifically for industrial production environments and adapt to customers processes without requiring full IT integration. Almetra plans to broaden its automation capabilities and pursue robotics applications in selected production environments, and is using recent funding to expand into the US and advance product development. The company raised €16.3 million in a Series A led by blisce/, reflecting an early growth funding stage to scale technology and deployments.
