Dear Friend,

With July in full swing, the technology investment landscape showcases remarkable momentum across three critical sectors, with Physical AI leading disclosed funding at $551 million, while energy transition demonstrates unprecedented scale through billion-dollar infrastructure commitments.

Mobility accelerates autonomous deployment with Uber's strategic $300 million commitment to Lucid for deploying 20,000 Gravity SUVs as robotaxis over six years, complemented by a multi-hundred-million investment in autonomous vehicle startup Nuro. European innovation advances as Berlin's MOTOR Ai secures €17.1 million in seed funding to deploy neuroscience-driven autonomous vehicle technology on German public roads. Meanwhile, consolidation continues with Zeekr Group's definitive merger agreement with Geely Automobile Holdings, expected to close in Q4 2025, positioning the premium new energy vehicle group for enhanced market presence1.

Energy transition commands attention with Google's historic $3 billion hydropower agreement with Brookfield Asset Management, representing the world's largest corporate hydroelectric power purchase to support Google's $25 billion data center expansion through 2027. Cross-border investment flows intensify as Brookfield Renewable commits up to $1 billion to increase its stake in Colombian energy firm Isagen to 38%, with Qatar Investment Authority contributing $500 million for a 15% shareholding. The sector demonstrates technological diversity with Elements Green's €80 million platform financing for 13 GW of utility-scale solar and battery projects across four countries, Cero Generation's £200 million facility for UK solar and storage development, and breakthrough infrastructure like AMEA Power's 300 MWh solar-powered battery system near Cairo—Egypt's first grid-scale battery storage project.

Physical AI experiences exceptional funding momentum with defense-tech startup Hadrian raising $260 million in Series C funding from Founders Fund and Lux Capital to expand defense component production and complete a 270,000-square-foot robotic manufacturing facility in Mesa, Arizona. Medical robotics advances through Zimmer Biomet's $177 million acquisition of Monogram Technologies, expanding their suite with semi-autonomous and fully autonomous AI-navigated surgical technologies. Construction automation gains traction as former Waymo engineers launch Bedrock Robotics with $80 million in combined funding to retrofit existing construction equipment, targeting the $13 trillion global construction market amid a 500,000 worker shortage. International expansion accelerates with Richtech Robotics' $4 million sales agreement with Beijing Tongchuang Technology for their Adam, Scorpion, and Titan robot lines, while defense applications strengthen through Israeli company XTEND's $30 million Series B extension for AI-powered tactical autonomous robotic systems deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Stay sharp,
