Synera, an agentic AI platform that orchestrates engineering workflows across 80+ hardware tools, led by Dr. Moritz Maier, Sebastian Möller, Daniel Siegel, and the team, has raised $40M in a Series B led by Revaia, with participation from Capgemini through ISAI Cap Venture. The round also includes all existing Series A investors, including UVC Partners with a substantial commitment from its growth fund, BMW iVentures, Cherry Ventures, Venture Stars, and Spark Capital, to accelerate U.S. and international expansion. The platform, already adopted by NASA, BMW, Airbus, Volvo Trucks, and Hyundai, operates securely on-premise to drive AI-ready transformation, tackle engineering talent shortages, and cut costs and material usage.


Engineering is emerging as a key frontier for AI adoption, driven by increasing global competition that is pushing companies to deliver higher-quality products faster and at lower cost.


According to Gartner®, the 2025 CIO and Technology Executive Survey found that 86% of manufacturing respondents plan to increase investment in generative AI in 2026, with 86% expected to deploy GenAI by 2026 and 97% by 2028. However, despite rising investment, only an average of 41% of AI and GenAI prototypes currently reach production, based on the 2024 Gartner AI Mandates for the Enterprise Survey.


The gap highlights a disconnect between AI investment and real-world deployment, leaving engineering workflows in design, simulation, and optimization reliant on manual processes, siloed systems, and fragmented legacy tools.


Synera enables a new mode of engineering powered by purpose-built AI agents. Often described as “JARVIS for engineers,” the platform allows companies to deploy agent teams that autonomously execute complex workflows across the product lifecycle, connecting existing CAx tools, data, knowledge, and processes into a unified, orchestrated system.


Unlike solutions that require replacing existing infrastructure, Synera integrates with 80+ engineering tools and enterprise systems, enabling automation while preserving data and engineering intellectual property through on-premises deployment. This approach drives significant productivity gains, including faster development cycles, improved KPIs, reduced material usage, more innovative designs, and lower costs that directly enhance competitiveness and production economics.


Engineering remains one of the least digitized and automated functions in industrial companies, historically operating with limited access to AI.


The funding enables a new mode of engineering where AI agents function as digital engineers, executing complex workflows across the value chain and connecting tools and knowledge across departments. This shift is expected to accelerate innovation, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness for companies that adopt it.


This new round reflects accelerating adoption of agentic AI in industrial environments, as Synera doubled its annual recurring revenue in 2025, with 60% of new business driven by its AI offering.


Synera enables companies to orchestrate R&D design workflows and compress engineering cycles while maintaining the precision, quality, and compliance required in regulated industries.


Synera’s agentic platform shows how AI can reshape product development by reducing engineering workload while unlocking new innovation potential. Through collaboration, the focus is on improving efficiency and enabling faster, more effective product development.


Building on early partnerships with global industry leaders, Synera is seeing increasing adoption as organizations work to operationalize AI in engineering. The platform now serves over 60 enterprise customers across 15 countries, including NASA, Airbus, Volvo Trucks, Brose, L’Oréal, Miele, STIHL, and ARRK Engineering.


Synera represents a new category of enterprise software where AI agents operate as part of the organization itself. The platform enables end-to-end orchestration with measurable improvements in speed, cost, and resource efficiency.


As a first investment in Germany, this reflects a broader conviction that the next wave of global AI leaders will emerge at the intersection of industrial expertise and advanced AI. Synera is positioned as an AI-first engineering company with the potential to lead this transformation at scale.


With this new funding, Synera is expanding internationally across the U.S., APAC, and Europe, including plans to build a dedicated team in France alongside its growing teams in the U.S. and Germany.


The company is scaling rapidly to establish a category standard for agentic R&D across aerospace, defense, consumer electronics, home appliances, automotive, and industrial engineering.
