Berlin’s SPREAD AI Secures €25M Series B to Scale Engineering Intelligence
Berlin-based SPREAD AI has raised €25 million in Series B funding to expand its Engineering Intelligence Platform across Europe and the U.S. The round, backed by new investors including DTCP Growth, IQT, OTB Ventures, Salesforce, and Thesiger Capital, as well as angel investors such as Christian Schulz, former CFO of TRATON, will also strengthen its presence in aerospace, defense, and heavy machinery sectors. Existing investors HV Capital and NAP continued their support.
Founded in 2019 by Philipp Noll and Robert Göbel, SPREAD AI addresses a critical challenge in industrial operations: fragmented data. Its Engineering Intelligence Platform integrates and contextualizes all product-related data across the lifecycle, from early design to field operations.
By connecting structured and unstructured data across enterprise systems—spanning product design, software, manufacturing, and operations—the platform creates living “Product Twins.” These digital models empower decision-makers to visualize interdependencies, assess trade-offs in real time, and accelerate decision-making.
The company reports deployments for leading manufacturers have delivered up to 30% faster development cycles, 75% faster troubleshooting, and tens of millions in annual cost savings.
The investment deepens SPREAD’s partnership with Salesforce, combining its Product Truth platform with Salesforce’s Customer 360. This helps manufacturers close the “execution gap” between customer expectations and operational capabilities, enabling features like Intelligent Case Resolution and Proactive Quality Management.
Robert Göbel, co-founder and co-CEO, stated, “Working with Salesforce gives us the reach to bring Engineering Intelligence to the industrial companies that need it most. Together, we’re making sense of industrial data scattered across legacy systems with our AI-native foundation, enabling teams to decide and act with speed and confidence.”
Marcin Hejka, General Partner at OTB Ventures, noted, “Unlocking the engineering intelligence buried in industrial legacy systems is one of the biggest opportunities in enterprise AI. SPREAD has the domain depth and the AI-native platform to define this category.”
Philipp Noll, co-CEO, added, “Global manufacturers deserve an AI-native foundation that respects their engineering data and standards. We’re committed to delivering measurable impact, from mitigating production risks to halving time to market.”
This Series B reflects the 2026 trend of growing investment in industrial AI, as companies modernize legacy systems to boost competitiveness.
