Hyperion Robotics, a Finnish technology startup specialising in advanced automation and sustainable technologies for concrete and the construction industry, has grabbed €3 million in seed funding.

The investment round was led by Lifeline Ventures (which also backed Huuva and Oura). It is one of the leading VCs in the Nordics and in Europe. Co-investors in the round include Impact VC Übermorgen from Switzerland, PC Rettig & CO Impact, a Finnish/Swedish family office with an industrial background, Goldacre, a London-based VC focused on the sustainable built environment and its first investor, climate-focused VC and accelerator Katapult from Norway. Katapult was Hyperion’s first investor and is confirming its commitment through a new investment in this round.

This investment will allow Hyperion Robotics to scale up its R&D capabilities, ramp up its software and materials technology, and deploy the first Micro-factories to large-scale projects around the world. With this investment, the startup will take mobile 3D printing micro-factories global.

In addition to the investment round, Kai Backman, partner at Lifeline, will join the board. “We are excited to invest in Hyperion, a company that has found a very unique way to implement additive manufacturing and software in concrete production. The combination of highly optimised structures, robotically manufactured and made with sustainable concrete provides a unique edge for Hyperion to scale up its Micro-factories and make a massive impact in this very conservative industry,” he said.
