Total funding reaches about $500 million, with Temasek leading and continued participation from Nvidia, Applied Materials, Atomico, General Catalyst, and Siemens, plus newcomers Intrepid Growth Partners and M&G Catalyst.

PhysicsX is positioning itself to lead the AI-driven physical simulation and industrial automation market, backed by a funding round and a clear path to scale.

The company aims to transform heavy industry and chip manufacturing by combining AI with physics simulations, leveraging high-profile investors to expand technology and market reach.

PhysicsX serves aerospace, semiconductor, automotive, energy, and materials sectors and has grown to more than 300 employees with revenue growth accelerating, including bookable revenues that tripled year over year.

CEO Jacomo Corbo says current demand on the supply side is constrained, slowing rollout to existing customers despite strong demand.

Even with rapid international expansion, PhysicsX plans to keep London as its headquarters, viewing Europe as a strong base for frontier-scale deep-tech valuations.

Corbo emphasizes that rapid exploration of design options enabled by AI is a core driver of hardware innovation and productivity for engineers and operators.

Growth is driven by AI infrastructure demand, with supply constraints as the company expands; semiconductors are expected to become its largest near-term industry segment.

Co-founder Robin Tuluie highlights democratizing technology so a broader set of technical profiles within industrial companies can leverage the platform.

The funding round was oversubscribed, led by Temasek, with new investors M&G Investments and Intrepid Growth Partners; existing backers including Nvidia, Applied Materials, Atomico, General Catalyst, and Siemens increased their stakes.

PhysicsX raised $300 million in a Series C led by Temasek, boosting its valuation to about $2.4 billion, more than doubling from the prior year.

The round signals a notable shift in AI funding toward physical infrastructure and hardware-focused startups, not just consumer or software AI.
