Pisa, 20 March 2026 – Wearable Robotics, an Italian startup active in wearable robotics for neuromotor rehabilitation, has closed a €5 million Series A round to accelerate international expansion and bring its technologies to key global markets.
The transaction was led by CDP Venture Capital, through the Accelerators Fund, with the participation of MITO Technology, through the MITO Tech Transfer fund, LIFTT, SIMEST, through the resources of F.394/81 – Venture Capital and Participatory Investments Section managed in agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, RoboIT (National Technology Transfer Hub for Robotics and Industrial Automation) and the co-investment fund Toscana Next, established and managed by CDP Venture Capital and underwritten by the main banking foundations in Tuscany (Fondazione CR Firenze, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca, Fondazione Caript, Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena) to maximize investments for innovative companies in the area.
The resources raised represent a fundamental strategic step to support the company’s growth path. In particular, the capital will be used to complete the product portfolio and commercial development, with the aim of strengthening the company’s competitive positioning on the main international markets. Today, this competitive advantage derives mainly from ALEX RS, a bilateral device for neuromotor rehabilitation of the upper limb, which represents a point of reference in the panorama of rehabilitation robotics, with over 50 units already installed internationally.
Starting from this solid technological and market base, Wearable Robotics aims to develop new modular and integrable robotic solutions, capable of extending applications to other rehabilitation districts and consolidating its leadership in the sector. At the same time, the company will invest in the completion of the regulatory processes necessary for access to the reference markets, strengthening compliance and accelerating the time-to-market of its technologies. This path will be accompanied by a significant strengthening of commercial channels, with the aim of strengthening the company’s presence nationally and internationally. The round will also strengthen internationalization strategies through new partnerships, entry into key markets and the strengthening of the distribution structure, with a particular focus on North American markets.
“The closing of this round represents a crucial step in our evolution,” said Lucia Lencioni, CEO of Wearable Robotics. “We are building the foundation for sustainable and scalable growth, while simultaneously investing in product innovation, regulatory strength and commercial development. Our goal is to bring increasingly advanced and modular wearable robotics solutions, capable of generating a concrete impact along the entire rehabilitation continuum.”
Stefano Molino, Head of the Accelerator Fund at CDP Venture Capital, commented: “Supporting Wearable Robotics represents an investment opportunity in a project with a high technological content and strong social value. The results achieved with ALEX RS, both clinically and in market validation, are testament to the team’s executive maturity and ability to compete as a leader in a rapidly expanding industry. The activation of this round benefits from the network development work carried out by accelerators and technology transfer, which have contributed to building an effective ecosystem of strategic relationships. We believe that this transaction represents a decisive step in consolidating the company’s competitive positioning on a national and international scale”
“We are pleased to contribute to this new round of investment in Wearable Robotics. The transaction confirms our confidence in the solidity of the company’s products and its team. We are convinced that the solutions developed by Wearable Robotics, designed to support people in work activities and rehabilitation pathways, can have a concrete and increasingly significant impact. The current investment will contribute to the scale-up phase and strengthen the positioning of Wearable Robotics, generating lasting value for investors and stakeholders.” – said Massimiliano Granieri, Managing Director of MITO Technology.
Marco Parlani, Project Manager of LIFTT, commented: “Since our entry in 2023, we have supported Wearable Robotics in its growth path, supporting its development and subsequent funding rounds. We continue to invest with conviction in a team and in a technology that we believe is a leader in a high-potential market such as rehabilitation robotics.”
Founded in 2014, Wearable Robotics develops innovative rehabilitation solutions that integrate wearable robotics and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) systems, with the aim of improving rehabilitation pathways and the recovery of neuromotor functions, with a specific focus on Activities of Daily Living. The company, already present in 20 countries and holder of a family of eight proprietary patents that cover all the know-how developed, with the capital raised will optimize its production capacity and become increasingly competitive globally
