Hong Kong-based leading service robotics company Robocore Technology Limited has announced the successful close of its Series D round of funding with strategic investment by Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd. (FTC).
The transaction represents FTC's formal foray into the smart robotics business, furthering its general expansion into AI and smart manufacturing.
FTC's subsidiary company Q-Run Holdings Limited has invested as much as USD 30 million in Robocore's fully-owned subsidiary RoboTemi Global Ltd. The first investment of USD 10 million for a 6.6 percent equity stake was complete, with two subsequent tranches of USD 10 million each to be potentially made on the first and second anniversaries. Future investments will be valued based on mutual agreement or third-party valuation.
