Navel Robotics

Mission
While numbers of people in need of care increase, and numbers of care professionals decrease, we're helping to close the gap through social robotics. Navel provides social interaction and companionship to the elderly and other humans who need it.

Founding Challenges
Limited resources (funding and people) are a challenge. Regulatory pitfalls can be challenging (GDPR, AI Act). However, we've successfully entered the market in late 2023 and have already sold many robots to care facilities as well as universities, which provides us with invaluable feedback for further product development and scaling of the business.

How the Venture Labs help us
The Venture Labs help us through networking, professional exchange, regulatory consulting and fundraising opportunities.
