Progressive Robotics Secures €1.6 Million Seed Round

Funding to Drive Adoption of Robotics Innovation

Thessaloniki, Greece – Progressive Robotics, a leading innovator in robotics, announced today the successful completion of a €1.55 million seed funding round led by Marathon Venture Capital and with the participation of existing investors Genesis Ventures. This investment aims to accelerate the company’s mission of expanding access to advanced robotics by providing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with AI-powered, no-code automation solutions.

Progressive Robotics’ platform revolutionizes robotic arm deployment by enabling operators to configure and reprogram robots in minutes without the need for technical expertise. Its intuitive software dramatically reduces costs and maximizes flexibility, allowing SMEs to benefit from the same efficiencies as large enterprises. The company has already implemented its solutions in multiple industries, including food production and logistics, delivering up to 20% faster operations and substantial cost savings.

Continued Emphasis on Product Innovation Drives Down the Costs for Robotic Adoption

Progressive Robotics continues to push the boundaries of innovation with its AI-powered solutions. A standout feature is its mixed-case palletizer, a highly sought-after breakthrough in logistics automation. This system leverages state-of-the-art machine learning and 3D perception technologies, enabling robots to adapt in real-time to varying product sizes, shapes, and weights. By harnessing AI, the palletizer not only optimizes space utilization but also ensures stability and safety, making it an invaluable tool for industries fulfillment centers.

The company’s focus on AI reflects a broader industry shift, with tech giants like Nvidia emphasizing the transformative potential of robotics as the next major growth market. Progressive Robotics is uniquely positioned to lead this evolution, delivering solutions that are both practical and cutting-edge. Continued emphasis on product innovation has also expanded the platform’s use cases, enhancing its adaptability to the complex and ever-changing demands of modern supply chains.

Our vision is to empower businesses, large and small, by removing the barriers to robotic adoption,” said Fotis Dimeas, CEO of Progressive Robotics. “This funding will enable us to scale our technology, expand globally, and bring Amazon-like robotics capabilities to SMEs.

We’ll continue to grow and build a world class product that front-line workers love to use

The investment was spearheaded by Marathon Venture Capital, which recognizes the growing importance of accessible robotics in the global economy. By lowering the cost and complexity of automation, Progressive Robotics is enabling SMEs to compete on a level playing field with larger enterprises, driving efficiency, reducing labor costs, and increasing profitability.

Progressive Robotics is breaking down the technical and financial barriers that have traditionally limited automation for smaller businesses,” said Panos Papadopoulos, Partner at Marathon Venture Capital. “We are thrilled to support their vision of making advanced robotics an attainable reality for SMEs worldwide.”

The funds will be used to enhance product development, scale operations, and accelerate international growth. Progressive Robotics has also partnered with leading robotic OEMs, including ABB Robotics, Elite Robots, and Schmalz, ensuring seamless hardware integration.
