London-based PhysicsX, the physical AI company innovating the future of engineering and manufacturing, today announced an extension to its Series B funding round, with a new investment from NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital arm – bringing total Series B funding to more than €133 million ($155 million).
This brings PhysicsX valuation to nearly €863 million ($1 billion). The round was led by Atomico in June 2025, with participation from Temasek, Siemens, Applied Materials, and July Fund, as well as continued support from existing investors including General Catalyst, NGP, Radius Capital, Standard Investments, and Allen & Co.
“The next industrial revolution will be AI-native – and the next generation of hardware will be imagined, designed, and proven in software. This investment reflects our investors’ shared conviction of that future,” said Jacomo Corbo, CEO & co-founder of PhysicsX.
In 2025, several similar European startups operating in physical-AI, industrial automation and AI-native engineering secured new funding, including mimic in Zurich, which raised €13.8 million to advance frontier physical-AI robotics; Cyberwave in Milan, which secured €7 million to connect AI agents with real-world industrial systems; and Encube in Stockholm, which emerged from stealth with €19 million for its AI-powered hardware-development platform.
Together, these companies attracted about €39.8 million, illustrating steady but comparatively early-stage investment activity in AI-driven engineering and manufacturing workflows across Europe.
Against this backdrop, PhysicsX’s Series B extension – bringing its total to more than €133 million – positions the UK company at a significantly higher funding scale than its peers, reinforcing its role as one of the sector’s most capitalised European players in 2025.
“Together, we’re reimagining engineering and manufacturing and building the AI infrastructure to solve the most important industrial challenges of our time. The present can’t wait for tomorrow’s technologies and we’re working hard – with our customers, partners, and investors – to build the software that bridges that gap,” adds Corbo.
Co-founded in 2023 by Robin Tuluie, formerly Head of R&D at Renault (Alpine) F1 and Mercedes F1 and Vehicle Technology Director at Bentley Motors, and Jacomo Corbo, formerly Chief Scientist and co-founder of QuantumBlack (AI by McKinsey) and Chief Race Strategist at Renault (Alpine) F1.
PhysicsX is a physical AI company on a mission to accelerate innovation and overhaul what engineering and manufacturing look like today. The company is developing the new software stack for AI-native engineering – moving large-scale numerical physics simulation to inference with AI to transform how physical systems are designed, tested, manufactured, and operated.
The PhysicsX platform enables advanced manufacturing organisations to overcome many of the speed, scalability, and accuracy issues of traditional simulation to deliver breakthrough performance across the whole product development lifecycle. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London and New York.
As global leaders in engineering and manufacturing face mounting pressure to innovate faster, reduce waste, shorten supply chains, and move to a software-defined development paradigm, PhysicsX aims to provide the technological backbone for this transformation.
The company is empowering enterprises in aerospace and security, automotive, semiconductors, materials and mining, and energy to accelerate development cycles, improve productivity, and better optimise for performance, cost, and manufacturability.
This announcement follows recent news that the PhysicsX platform will be available on the NVIDIA-powered Industrial AI Cloud for Europe, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom – a milestone that underscored PhysicsX and NVIDIA’s commitment to provide sovereign industrial AI infrastructure and capabilities where they are most needed.
This follows the company’s €117.3 million raise in June 2025, as reported by EU-Startups.
