Autonomous delivery firm Neubility secures investment from Samsung Venture Investment Corporation
Neubility, a South Korea-based autonomous robot services company, has received three billion won in funding from Samsung Venture Investment.
That takes it total funding to date to approximately 30 billion won.
Neubility was selected by C-Lab Outside, Samsung Electronics’ startup acceleration programme, in 2021.
It has since expanded into overseas markets, such as Japan, Europe, and the United States, and is building a production base in Southeast Asia.
It says that it is “rapidly increasing its service competitiveness by accumulating data on the urban driving experience from the CES 2023 Innovation Award winning self-driving robot, Neubie, and the Robot as a Service (RaaS) platform, Neubiego”.
Neubility CEO Sangmin Lee comments: "We are honoured and pleased to attract an investment from Samsung Venture Investment. We will strive to boost our production and expand our services."
