Theker, a Barcelona-based AI robotics company, has ​raised $85 million in Europe’s largest robotics Series A fundraising round.

Theker ⁠develops robots ​which use AI to ​perform tasks in industrial environments.

The fundraising round ​was led by venture ​capital firm CRV, while other ‌companies ⁠involved included Samsung and luxury goods company LVMH.

Also taking part in the fundraising round were Cathay, 20VC, Henkel, Korelya, Sonae and Mercadona alongside existing investors Inditex, Carles Reina (ElevenLabs), Itnig (Factorial Founders), Kfund, Kibo Ventures and Mission, among others.

Theker co-founder Carla Gómez Cano said: “We didn’t build Theker to run pilots. We built it to ship robots that work the day they arrive and continue improving every day after.

“This round accelerates a vision we’ve been building toward from day one: making intelligent, adaptable robotics practical for real industrial operations at global scale.”

Reid Christian, general partner at CRV, said: “Theker is solving one of the most important challenges in robotics: bringing general-purpose AI into real production environments where reliability, adaptability and scale actually matter.

“What Carla, Jiaqiang and the team have built is exceptionally rare, a deeply technical platform paired with real commercial deployment momentum. We believe Theker has the potential to become one of the defining robotics companies of this generation.”
