CAN YOU GET THIS?

You must be a pre-seed or later robotics startup headquartered in Europe with verified VC backing and a technical team of 5 or more.

You must be a pre-seed or later robotics startup headquartered in Europe with verified VC backing and a technical team of 5 or more.

AI must be core to your current product or future roadmap, and your entire team including CEO and CTO must be available for the full 12–15 week program. Target verticals include logistics, manufacturing, health, human-robot interaction, education, and advanced navigation, but adjacent robotics startups are encouraged to apply.

YOUR REAL ODDS

The program accepts 10–15 startups per cohort, and the current cycle has already closed with 15 selected.

The 2026 cohort (June–September) is already filled, so the next opportunity would be a future cycle. Competition is selective given the narrow focus on physical AI and the requirement for existing VC backing.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm eligibility: European HQ, VC-backed, 5+ technical team, AI-driven robotics product — 1–2 hours

  2. Prepare application covering technical team, product, and AI roadmap — 1–2 days

  3. Submit application before the next cycle opens (current cycle closed) — Ongoing monitoring

WORTH KNOWING

Support is fully equity-free, and the up to $350K comes as Google Cloud credits rather than cash — factor that into how useful it is for your specific infrastructure needs.
