Wearable Robotics secures €5M Series A to scale global expansion and innovation in rehabilitation technology

Pisa-based startup Wearable Robotics raised €5 million in a Series A funding round to accelerate international growth and advance its wearable robotics solutions for neuromotor rehabilitation. The round was led by CDP Venture Capital, with participation from MITO Technology, LIFTT, SIMEST, RoboIT, and Toscana Next.

Founded in 2014 as a spin-off of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, the company develops robotic devices and exoskeletons designed to support rehabilitation, movement assistance, and human augmentation. Its solutions combine wearable robotics with augmented and virtual reality to enhance recovery outcomes and support patients in daily activities.

Wearable Robotics’ flagship device, ALEX RS, a bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation system, has already been deployed in more than 50 installations worldwide, contributing to the company’s presence across 20 countries.

The new funding will support the expansion of its product portfolio with modular, integrable solutions, as well as the completion of regulatory processes in key markets to accelerate time-to-market. The company also plans to strengthen its commercial capabilities, build new partnerships, and expand its distribution network, with a particular focus on North America.
