PhysicsX's US$2.4bn Industry AI Funded by NVIDIA and Siemens

PhysicsX, which describes itself as “the physics AI company for industrials”, announced a US$300m Series C financing round, which brought the British startup’s valuation to approximately US$2.4bn.

The company has seen investment from huge companies such as Applied Materials, NVIDIA and Siemens; its Series C round was led by Singaporean state owned investment firm Temasek. 

The industrial AI company, founded by two former Formula 1 engineers, says its industrial physics platform is already deployed across aerospace, defence, semiconductors, industrial machinery, automotive, energy and materials sectors. 

What is PhysicsX’s software? 

PhysicsX says its AI models predict physical behaviour in seconds rather than hours or days, enabling engineering teams to evaluate orders of magnitude more design variants and carry physics insight across the full product lifecycle, from early-stage design and manufacturing through to real-time digital twins in operation.

Jacomo Corbo, Co-Founder & CEO of PhysicsX, says: "Almost every hard problem in the physical economy, better aircraft, better chips, better engines, better energy systems, comes down to how fast and how well engineers and machine operators can work through the underlying physics. 

“For decades, that has been the binding constraint on hardware innovation. Physics AI removes it. We are giving engineers the ability to explore thousands of designs where they once managed a handful, in seconds rather than weeks, across the most demanding industries in the world. 

“We are also enabling more reliable, more efficient and altogether new ways of doing engineering, manufacturing and production. This financing lets us put that capability in the hands of more engineers and push the frontier toward ever larger and more capable Large Physics Models.”

Why Siemens and NVIDIA are investing

The company’s Series C funding round was led by Temasek, with participation from investors M&G Investments and Intrepid Growth Partners. 

Its existing investors include Applied Materials, Atomico, General Catalyst, July Fund, NGP, NVIDIA, Radius and Siemens.

Siemens and NVIDIA have already shown interest in industrial AI software.

In 2025, they showcased the company's advanced digital twin capabilities at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in Washington DC, bringing together 3D visualisation, simulation and factory data into a unified environment.

High-fidelity physics simulation

PhysicsX is designed to accelerate the timeframes of complex physics simulations.

Robin Tuluie, Founder and Chairman of PhysicsX, says: "High-fidelity physics simulation has always been powerful, but it has also been slow, costly and the preserve of a small group of specialists. Physics AI changes that in every dimension. 

“It makes high-fidelity simulation dramatically more efficient, augments and improves on pure simulation results with ingestion of real-world data into our Large Physics Models and opens it to applications that were never practical before. We believe in the democratisation of this technology to broad technical profiles across an industrial organisation, engineers, designers and operators who previously couldn't run these analyses themselves. 

“As that capability spreads, its utility compounds across the business. That’s the change we’re driving.”
