Vention Secures $110M to Scale Physical AI for Global Manufacturing
- Vention raised $110M USD from investors including NVentures, Investissement Québec, and Fidelity Investments Canada ULC.
- Funds will support software expansion, global deployment, and development of zero-integration automation tools.
Vention has announced a $110M USD funding round to advance its AI-powered platform for automation and robotics. The investment included participation from Investissement Québec, Desjardins Capital, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture arm), and Fidelity Investments Canada ULC, among others. The company plans to use the capital to accelerate R&D in Physical AI, expand its software capabilities, and extend its footprint across North America and Europe.
At the center of Vention’s strategy is its push toward "Zero-Shot Automation," which allows systems to be deployed without integration and perform correctly from the outset. Vention’s platform unifies hardware, software, and cloud tools to simplify automation, aiming to reduce project timelines from months to days. Recent developments include an AI agent for machine specs, a programming copilot, and autonomous robotic applications.
Enterprise adoption has been a key growth driver, with large manufacturers standardizing on Vention’s platform across multiple sites and regions. Industries such as automotive, logistics, and food and beverage are rolling out company-wide automation programs using centralized teams and Vention’s modular system. The funding will help the company meet the scale these deployments demand.
🌀 Tom’s Take:
Zero-Shot Automation matters because it strips out the delays, guesswork, and custom setup that usually slow down deployment, if it works the first time, everything else moves faster.
