Paris-based robotics company Inbolt has raised €11 million in funding. The company develops technology that helps robots see, understand their surroundings, and adapt in real time.
Inbolt will use the new funding to expand into the US and Asia-Pacific (APAC). It also plans to enter new markets, including data centres and electronics manufacturing.
The funding round was led by new investor Shift4Good, with participation from Bridges Climate Transition Partners. Existing investors BNP Paribas Développement and Ora Global also joined the round, bringing Inbolt’s total funding to €30 million.
“Robots have been running blind for fifty years. Fixing that isn’t about better hardware. It’s about giving every robot, regardless of make or model, the intelligence to see and adapt in real time. This round lets us bring that to manufacturers everywhere, not just the ones with the deepest integration budgets,” said Rudy Cohen, co-founder and CEO, Inbolt
Founded in 2019 by Cohen, Albane Dersy, and Louis Dumas, Inbolt develops AI technology for industrial robots.
Its AI system helps robots handle different tasks, parts, and production processes. This allows manufacturers to set up robots faster, reduce costs, and keep production running smoothly.
“AI is increasingly moving beyond screens and into factories and machines. Inbolt enables robots to be deployed faster and to operate with far greater precision and flexibility in changing environments. We have been impressed by the team’s ability to turn sophisticated technology into a robust solution already deployed across leading global manufacturers in automotive and beyond. Inbolt also illustrates Europe’s ability to convert world-class research into technologies with global industrial relevance. We are pleased to support the team as the company enters its next stage of growth,” said Julien Baumont, Partner, Shift4Good.
The company will use the new funding to expand in the US and APAC markets. In 2026, Inbolt opened an office in Detroit and also plans to enter two new sectors: data centres and electronics manufacturing.
