TL;DRNavVis raised €73.7M Series D led by The Jordan Company. Spatial twin platform has scanned 1B+ sqm. 1,500+ customers including BMW, VW, Toyota, Siemens. Expanding in US market. Partners with Nvidia, SAP, Autodesk.
NavVis, a Munich-based spatial twin platform, raised €73.7 million ($85 million) in a Series D round led by US private equity firm The Jordan Company. Existing investors Yttrium, KOZO KEIKAKU ENGINEERING, and Cipio Partners also participated. The company, a 2013 spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, builds photorealistic digital replicas of factories, plants, and buildings using wearable laser scanning systems that it says work 10 times faster than traditional survey methods.
The numbers are substantial. More than a billion square metres of industrial space have been scanned onto the NavVis platform, and over 150,000 users in engineering, maintenance, and construction teams use the data daily. The customer list reads like a manufacturing index: BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, ExxonMobil, BASF, Henkel, Bosch, and Siemens. The company has partnerships with Nvidia, SAP, and Autodesk, and operates in more than 50 countries with over 1,500 customers.
The investment will fund next-generation capture hardware, a deeper AI intelligence layer, and an open platform for what NavVis calls the “physical AI ecosystem.” CTO Georg Schroth framed the problem: industrial teams have always planned against drawings nobody fully trusts. NavVis replaces those drawings with a continuously updated spatial record that serves as the system of truth for every team, tool, and AI system. Digital twins have been expanding from urban planning to industrial operations, and NavVis sits at the factory end of that spectrum, where the stakes are highest and the data requirements most demanding.
