The early financing round of the spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich<a href=\"https:\/\/ethz.ch\/de.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(ETH<\/a>), founded in 2022, was led by the Zurich-based investment firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wingman.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wingman Ventures<\/a>. In addition, the two venture capital firms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vento.ventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vento<\/a> from Turin and <a href=\"https:\/\/gettycap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GETTY<\/a> from New York as well as angel investors participated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">According to a SAEKI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/saeki-robotics_saekis-microfactories-help-large-manufacturing-activity-7095305201917538304-70Be\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement<\/a> on <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;LinkedIn&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Social-Media-Plattform f&uuml;r Fach- und F&uuml;hrungskr&auml;fte&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-mobile-support=\"0\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">LinkedIn<\/span>, the funding will &ldquo;support our mission to build a network of decentralised automated factories that combine digital manufacturing and robotics to produce large parts at the speed of light&rdquo;, such as wind turbine blades, components for concrete building parts or aircraft and car parts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">According to a Techcrunch <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/08\/09\/saeki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> linked by SAEKI in the release, the three founders are focusing on building fully automated factories with independent robotic cells that can be booked by customers. &ldquo;What we hear over and over again from people and companies is the desire for faster and more sustainable solutions for their parts,&rdquo; co-founder Andrea Perissinotto is quoted as saying there. &ldquo;The mere offer of savings from a multi-million dollar machine that requires a lot of space and additional resources, including hiring people who know new processes and materials, is not attractive to them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The company also reportedly plans to collaborate with the composites industry for lightweight but strong parts in aircraft, cars and bicycles. SAEKI&rsquo;s technology is expected to eliminate the time-consuming and expensive production of complex moulds from metal or composites, and thus a bottleneck for companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAEKI Robotics has raised $2.3 million in a seed funding round.
