Sunrise Robotics: Pioneering the Future of Industrial Manufacturing with $8.5M Funding

Sunrise Robotics, a burgeoning force in industrial automation based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, has secured $8.5 million in funding from Seedcamp, an investment aimed at advancing their robotics technology. Faced with imminent challenges due to labour shortages and geopolitical pressures, the manufacturing sector is increasingly reliant on automation. Founded in 2023 by three seasoned entrepreneurs, Sunrise Robotics employs a novel approach by using simulation technology to train robot cells. This innovation promises to reduce deployment costs dramatically and enhance productivity in manufacturing facilities. Sunrise Robotics has already begun implementing their systems across Europe in sectors such as supercar development and electronics manufacturing. The investment will bolster the company's European team and further refine AI capabilities, enabling them to offer cutting-edge solutions that bridge labour gaps and increase operational efficiency. The company envisions a future where robots not only perform repetitive tasks but empower the human workforce to focus on higher-value work, leading to a more sustainable and competitive European industrial sector.
