Singapore’s robotics and embodied AI companies are making waves globally, thanks to the support of the RoboNexus accelerator. As the National Robotics Programme concludes its inaugural cohort, companies like LionsBot, dConstruct Technologies, and Spinoff Robotics have successfully entered markets across Asia, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. Notable achievements include a $125m Series A funding round and a successful acquisition.
Launched in 2025, RoboNexus is a venture-building accelerator designed to propel high-potential robotics start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore onto the global stage. The programme offers curated industry introductions, overseas exposure, and opportunities for real-world deployment, enabling companies to validate solutions, build partnerships, and scale commercially.
LionsBot, one of the programme’s standout participants, has expanded into over 40 countries, deploying more than 6,000 robots globally. The company has established subsidiaries in Dallas, Amsterdam, and Chennai, and continues to innovate with its R5 autonomous cleaning robot. “RoboNexus has supported our journey beyond Singapore, enabling us to scale our robotics solutions across global markets,” said Dylan Ng, CEO and Co-founder of LionsBot International.
Looking ahead, RoboNexus plans to enhance its offerings with deeper industry mentorship and expanded ecosystem partnerships. The next cohort, set to begin in March 2027, will focus on sectors such as manufacturing, aviation, and maritime, addressing real-world operational challenges. This initiative aims to reinforce Singapore’s position as a trusted hub for robotics development and deployment.
