NEURA Robotics was founded in 2019 by David Reger with the mission of closing important innovation gaps and ushering in the age of cognitive robotics. The award-winning innovators from Metzingen pursue a consistent "one-device" approach across their entire product portfolio - from industrial to household robots. The idea is comparable to a smartphone with arms and legs that combines all the essential components and sensors for physical artificial intelligence in a single device.

For this approach, NEURA Robotics has now been awarded the German Start-up Award 2025 in the "Rising Star" category. The prestigious award recognizes the company's remarkable development from start-up to global technology leader in just a few years. Guided by its vision of cognitive robotics - machines that can hear, see, feel and interact with humans in a natural way - NEURA Robotics is redefining global standards in robotics. The pioneering developments from Metzingen are helping to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time: combating the shortage of skilled workers, alleviating the care crisis and ensuring Europe's long-term competitiveness in global competition. The award ceremony recently took place in the ZDF capital studio in Berlin and was broadcast live nationwide.

David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, commented: "This award is a sign that NEURA Robotics is not only capable of inventing future technologies, but also of leading them to global success. Our mission is clear: we are building the next evolutionary stage of robotics here in the heart of Europe. Not as science fiction, but as a reality for millions of people, at home and at work. The Founders' Award shows that we not only have potential, but have already proven it. And this is just the beginning."

The German Founders' Award is considered the most prestigious award for entrepreneurs in Germany. Awarded annually by stern, Sparkassen, ZDF and Porsche, the prize recognizes personalities and companies that shape new markets with courage, innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship. In the "Rising Star" category, the jury recognizes companies that have demonstrated impressive growth, entrepreneurial excellence and international impact within a short period of time.
