SPREAD AI raises $30M Series B for industrial AI

SPREAD AI has raised $30 million in Series B funding to support
international expansion, enhance its platform capabilities, and strengthen its
position across key industries. The round included new investors such as DTCP
Growth, IQT, OTB Ventures, Salesforce, and Thesiger Capital, alongside angel
investor Christian Schulz. Existing backers, including HV Capital and Nauta
Capital, also participated.

The investment
deepens the company’s collaboration with Salesforce, combining SPREAD’s product
data capabilities with Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform to help address the
gap between customer expectations, engineering, and operational execution.

SPREAD’s platform
integrates and contextualises product-related data across the entire lifecycle,
from design through to production and operations. By connecting structured and
unstructured data across enterprise systems, it enables the creation of “Product
Twins” that help engineering and operations teams understand dependencies,
assess trade-offs, and make decisions more efficiently.

The company works
with global manufacturers across industries, including automotive, aerospace and
defence, and industrial equipment, and reports that its platform has
contributed to faster development cycles, improved troubleshooting times, and
significant cost savings.

Commenting on the
round, Robert Göbel, co-founder and co-CEO of SPREAD, said:

Working with
Salesforce gives us the reach to bring Engineering Intelligence to the
industrial companies that need it most: the teams developing, operating or
servicing defence systems, vehicles, and industrial machinery. Together, we’re
making sense of industrial data scattered across a sprawl of legacy systems
with our AI-native data foundation that lets engineering, sales and service
teams decide and act with speed and confidence. This is Industrial AI
delivering tangible impact.

Philipp Noll,
co-founder and co-CEO, added that the focus is on helping manufacturers operate
more efficiently by providing an AI-native foundation built on existing
engineering data and designed to support long-term performance.

The investment comes as European policymakers place
increasing emphasis on AI capabilities in strategic industries, with
initiatives aimed at strengthening regional leadership in industrial AI. SPREAD
is positioning its platform to support manufacturers globally with data-driven
operations aligned with European standards for transparency and data
protection.
