16 Industry Giants Back Stellar Era with $1.4B Strategic Investment

On March 5, Embodied Intelligence Robotics company Stellar Era announced the completion of a RMB 1 billion strategic financing round, pushing its valuation beyond RMB 10 billion. This round was jointly participated by 16 leading global and domestic industrial giants, including Samsung, Singtel, Youli Capital, CICC Porsche, and SMIC Puyuan. Existing shareholders CDH VGC and Tsinghua Holdings Tiancheng also significantly increased their investments. The investor consortium spans multiple sectors—including technology, automotive, logistics, consumer electronics (3C), semiconductors, and new energy—and includes major Chinese and international enterprises such as Geely, Alibaba, Lenovo, Haier, and BAIC. Notably, this funding round comes just three months after the previous one—a rarity in today’s primary market environment. On the technology front, Stellar Era’s world model, co-developed with Stanford University researchers, has surpassed Google and NVIDIA on authoritative benchmarks. Additionally, the company’s self-developed dexterous robotic hand is projected to ship nearly 1,000 units in 2025, with 50% of sales going overseas. Commercially, Stellar Era has already secured over RMB 500 million in cumulative orders, serving nine of the world’s top ten market-cap technology companies, and has achieved large-scale deployments in logistics, 3C, and automotive sectors.
