The NYT profiles Neura Robotics, a German humanoid/robotics startup in the 22,000-person town of Metzingen (Hugo Boss's hometown). Founder David Reger raised $1.4B in months, led by crypto firm Tether with backing from Nvidia and Amazon, and has been invited to meet leaders of Europe's three largest economies. The piece frames Neura as central to whether Europe can close the robotics gap with China as AI moves from digital to physical.
