With FTC’s strategic and manufacturing support, Robocore is expected to achieve three-fold revenue growth over the next three years and aims for a five-fold increase by 2028. The company’s growth will be primarily driven by accelerated expansion in the US, Europe, and Asia. Robocore plans to initiate its IPO process within five years, aiming to become one of the world’s fastest-growing service robotic enterprises.
Proceeds from this funding round will be mainly used to strengthen Robocore’s telemedicine business in the US, Europe and Japan, launch new products for mainland China’s consumer market, and expand global sales and marketing operations. These initiatives aim to further consolidate its industry leadership position while preparing for a pre-2030 IPO.
