Theker’s Adaptive Robots Win Big

A robotics startup called Theker is revolutionizing automation with ultra-flexible machines that swap hands and arms to tackle diverse tasks—from sorting packages to packing clothes. Just months after their seed round, they’ve landed Europe’s largest Series A ever: $85 million, backed by Samsung and Aglaé Ventures. While Zara’s parent company Inditex is an early investor, Theker’s sights are set on complex industrial environments where adaptable robots are essential. Skipping corporate labs, they’re partnering directly with operations teams, opening showrooms in Barcelona and planning global expansion. With over 15,000 job applicants and a team rapidly scaling, Theker is proving Barcelona’s power as a robotics hub—and that Europe can lead the next wave of tech innovation.
