PhysicsX is accelerating again. The London startup, specializing in physical AI applied to engineering and manufacturing, is strengthening its funding round with the entry of NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital fund. This extension marks a strategic step for the company which is developing a platform intended to move traditional physical simulations towards AI inference, with the objective of transforming manufacturers’ design, test and production cycles.
Founded in 2023 by Robin Tuluie, former R&D manager at Renault (Alpine) F1 and Mercedes F1, and Jacomo Corbo, co-founder of QuantumBlack, PhysicsX has established itself in two years as one of the most advanced European players in AI-native engineering. Its technology aims to resolve the structural limits of classic numerical simulation: slow execution, calculation constraints, variable precision and low scalability on complex multi-physics systems. By replacing these models with networks trained on large volumes of physical and industrial data, the company intends to redefine the way in which mechanical, thermal or aerodynamic systems are designed, optimized and validated.
The platform is aimed at sectors subject to accelerated innovation pressure: aeronautics and defense, automotive, semiconductors, energy, advanced materials or mining industries. It promises significant gains in development times, the accuracy of physical predictions and the ability to explore designs previously impossible due to lack of computing power. PhysicsX is thus part of the transition towards entirely software engineering, where simulation is no longer a bottleneck but a driver of productivity.
The company recently announced the arrival of its platform in the European Industrial AI Cloud, developed with NVIDIA and Deutsche Telekom, strengthening its positioning in sovereign industrial computing infrastructures. This integration opens access to a calculation layer dedicated to European manufacturers, in a context of growing technological tensions on simulation and optimization capabilities.
PhysicsX has just extended its Series B financing round, bringing the total raised to more than 133 million euros. The investment comes from NVentures, alongside Atomico, Temasek, Siemens, Applied Materials, July Fund, General Catalyst, NGP and other existing investors. The valuation now reaches 863 million eurosconsolidating PhysicsX as one of the best capitalized companies in physics AI in 2025.
