FLEXOO, a pioneer in physical AI sensor technology, has closed its Series A funding round with €11M in total investment. The funding, announced on February 25, 2026, is led by eCAPITAL and AUMOVIO, enabling FLEXOO to expand its global business in battery storage and automotive industries while advancing its Physical AI sensor platform.

Funding Details and Strategic Goals

The Series A round raises €11M to drive FLEXOO’s international growth, particularly with leading customers in battery storage and automotive sectors. Funds will support continuous development of the Physical AI sensor platform, which integrates ultra-thin, free-form sensors with edge AI computing. This investment also positions FLEXOO to enter new markets by addressing key challenges in Physical AI.

FLEXOO’s platform closes the gap between industrial intelligence and autonomous systems by providing AI algorithms with precise, real-time physical data from technical systems. The ultra-thin, flexible, and modular sensors integrate seamlessly into any surface or space, offering an economically viable and patent-protected solution.

With this funding, FLEXOO accelerates toward specific 2026 milestones: international sales and customer support expansion, securing high-value supply contracts, delivering prototypes of the advanced Physical AI platform to close partners, and strengthening foundational IP for its Physical AI platform and dexterous sensing.

Core Technologies Driving Innovation

FLEXOO’s technology stack features ultra-thin sensors under 200 μm thick, allowing invisible integration into batteries, automotive components, and other electronic applications. The free-form factor relies on high-volume printing manufacturing, enabling production in almost any geometry.

A standout element is the world-leading tactile sensor, delivering the highest accuracy and reliability for real-time operational data. This precision enables AI algorithms to receive unique insights directly from devices or systems, surpassing conventional systems.

Validation with leading battery manufacturers demonstrates capacity improvements of up to 5% without requiring battery redesign or new chemistry. FLEXOO captures real-time data at the cell level, enabling higher-level AI control and early warning systems to prevent battery failures—use cases now under evaluation by customers.

Vision for Physical AI

Dr. Michael Kröger, Founding CEO of FLEXOO, states: “FLEXOO sensors make Physical AI possible: Only ultra-thin, free-form sensor technology bridges the gap between physical hardware and learning algorithms.” He adds that with eCAPITAL and AUMOVIO as investors, FLEXOO is scaling a patented technology for a multi-billion-dollar market.

The platform’s ability to provide precise tactile data underpins its broad applicability, particularly in sustainability and IoT sectors. FLEXOO’s validated stack—from R&D to deployment—supports a targeted go-to-market strategy with a tangible customer pipeline in large industries needing reliable, real-time sensor intelligence.

Insights from Lead Investors
