SG robotics accelerator cohort sees $125m raise, exit

Singapore’s National Robotics Programme, hosted by A*STAR, said on July 2 that the inaugural RoboNexus accelerator cohort had concluded.

The agency said participating robotics and embodied AI firms expanded into Asia, Europe, the US, and the Middle East through industry ties, overseas exposure, and deployment opportunities.

The cohort included LionsBot, which is now present in more than 40 countries and has deployed over 6,000 robots globally.

During the program, dConstruct Technologies raised US$125 million in series A funding. Meanwhile Spinoff Robotics was acquired by Australian Securities Exchange-listed Nanoveu.

Launched in 2025, RoboNexus is an accelerator program for Singapore robotics startups and small and medium-sized enterprises.

NRP said the program’s next phase will add more industry mentorship and broader partnerships, ahead of applications expected to open in March 2027 for Singapore-based firms in manufacturing, aviation, and maritime.
