Cyberwave raises €7M to make the physical world programmable
Milan-based Cyberwave has secured €7 million in a funding round led by United Ventures, aiming to build an operating layer connecting AI agents with real-world machines. This innovative platform seeks to accelerate the integration of AI in physical environments, addressing the inefficiencies and complexities currently hindering automation efforts across Europe. The goal is to transform how developers interact with machines. Cyberwave’s platform utilizes digital twins, simulation, and orchestration tools to allow developers to control robots, machines, and sensors with ease. The company's core offering is a growing catalogue of digital twins acting as a two-sided marketplace, streamlining the integration process for hardware makers and providing developers with plug-and-play access to various robotic systems. This design tackles slow and costly deployment of AI in manufacturing. The impact of Cyberwave's technology is far-reaching, targeting Europe's manufacturing sector and potentially addressing labour shortages and boosting productivity. Applications include defect rework on assembly lines, logistics optimization, drone inspections, and construction site monitoring. Cyberwave is initially targeting European manufacturing leaders, with plans for expansion into the US. The launch of Cyberwave’s digital-twins platform is scheduled for October 2025. This funding round and the platform's upcoming launch will facilitate the growth of a developer ecosystem. The company is positioning itself to become the "system of actions" for the physical world.
