Emmi AI, a Linz-based startup revolutionizing industrial engineering simulations with artificial intelligence, has announced a €15 million seed funding round, the largest seed deal ever for an Austrian startup.
The investment was led by 3VC, Speedinvest, Serena, and PUSH VC, marking a significant milestone in Austria’s growing deep tech ecosystem.
Founded in 2024 as a spin-out of NXAI, Emmi AI aims to dramatically speed up and enhance the accuracy of simulations critical to industries like aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.
Real-Time Simulations: A Leap Forward for Industrial Engineering
Engineering simulations — such as turbulence modeling, heat transfer analysis, and structural stress testing — traditionally require extensive computational resources and long processing times.
Emmi AI’s solution reduces this timeframe from days or weeks to just seconds, enabling unprecedented speed and adaptability in engineering workflows.
“With Emmi AI, simulations that previously took days or weeks now run in seconds — completely transforming what’s possible in real-world engineering and paving the way for truly intelligent, data-driven digital twins that can learn, adapt, and optimize in real time.”— Dennis Just, CEO and Co-founder of Emmi AI
Named after the influential mathematician Emmy Noether, Emmi AI’s technology merges scientific precision with machine intelligence to empower engineers and manufacturers globally.
A Strategic Investment to Drive Expansion
The sizable funding round demonstrates strong confidence from top European venture capitalists in Emmi AI’s potential to reshape industrial simulation practices.
Investors highlighted the company’s innovative research and its broader impact on Austria’s status as a deep tech hub.
“The cutting-edge research being conducted by Johannes, Dennis, Miks, and the Emmi team represents the next frontier in AI, with the potential to fundamentally reshape how industrial engineering processes work. We’re incredibly excited to support them as they drive unprecedented efficiency and innovation across industries globally, while boosting Austria’s position as a deep tech hub.”— Andreas Schwarzenbrunner, General Partner at Speedinvest
• 3VC, Speedinvest, Serena, and PUSH VC are backing Emmi AI’s growth.
• The funding marks a record-setting moment for Austria’s startup ecosystem.
• Investors see Emmi AI’s technology as pivotal for industrial process innovation.
Emmi AI’s Next Steps: Talent, Technology, and Market Reach
