the results

Newlab played a pivotal role in Cognibotics' successful U.S. market entry and expansion. By providing the robust infrastructure required to develop hardware, Newlab enabled Cognibotics to refine their prototypes and scale their operations efficiently. The access to 3D printing, machining parts, and prototyping workshops helped accelerate their product development cycles. With their SigmaTau robot, Cognibotics was able to find product-market fit with trans-Atlantic defense, aerospace, and automotive companies.

Through Newlab, Cognibotics not only found a physical address but a strategic launchpad into the U.S. market.

"When we set our sights on the US market, our vision was clear but the path was not. Newlab not only provided us with the infrastructure to innovate but also embedded us within an ecosystem where ideas and technologies cross-pollinate, accelerating our growth and presence in the US."
