Emmi AI secures €15M in Austria’s largest-ever Seed Round to redefine Engineering Simulations with Physics-Driven AI
Summary
Emmi AI, an Austrian deep tech startup aiming to revolutionize industrial simulations with artificial intelligence, has raised 15 million in seed fundingthe largest seed round ever in Austria.The round was co-led by 3VC, Speedinvest, Serena, and PUSH VC, highlighting growing investor conviction in the future of physics-based AI.Emmis platform accelerates and scales engineering simulations for industries like aerospace, automotive, semiconductors, and energyturning processes that once took weeks into real-time, high-fidelity results delivered in milliseconds.Rethinking Simulation from the Ground UpSimulations are the backbone of modern product development, but they remain painfully slow, expensive, and reliant on handcrafted code and heavy computational power. Emmi AI is flipping the model with its AI-native simulation engine, capable of running massive multiphysics scenariosfluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and morewithout tedious manual setup.Instead of building numerical solvers the traditional way, Emmi trains deep learning models to act as intelligent digital twins. The result: scalable, accurate, and nearly instant simulationsunlocking new possibilities for industrial design, testing, and optimization.This isnt just a speed-upits a paradigm shift, said Peter Lasinger, General Partner at 3VC. Its name is a tribute to Emmy Noether, the legendary mathematician whose work revolutionized physicsan inspiration that guides Emmis mission to inject intelligence, speed, and elegance into engineering.The startup spun out from Linz-based research group NXAI, and its rise is seen as a milestone for Austrias deep tech scene. Cross-industry use: Already working with enterprise clients on seven-figure ACVs.With this unique approach, Emmi AI is not just accelerating simulationsits unlocking entirely new design workflows and reshaping how industries build and test.With the fresh capital, Emmi AI plans to: Expand its engineering and research teams across Europe Cement its role as a core infrastructure provider for physics AIWith world-class talent, breakthrough technology, and record-breaking backing, Emmi AI is positioned to become a cornerstone of the industrial AI revolutionbringing real-time simulation to the physical world.
