Alva Industries announced that it has secured €16 million in financing. The funding will support expanded manufacturing capacity, continued product portfolio development, and international growth.
Alva is a Norwegian deep-tech company developing high-performance electric motors. The company serves customers across robotics, defense, aerospace, medical technology, industrial automation, and autonomous systems.
The company has developed FiberPrinting, a patented manufacturing technology for producing frameless electric motors. Alva said the technology enables motors that are among the lightest and thinnest on the market while maintaining high torque density and cogging-free performance.
These attributes are especially important in advanced mechatronics hardware. In sectors like robotics, aerospace, medical devices, and defense, designers increasingly need actuation systems that are compact, lightweight, accurate, and high-performing.
Alva currently has hundreds of active customer projects across commercial and defense markets. The company said it is gaining traction with leading OEMs in robotics, aerospace, and medical devices.
The new funding will help Alva accelerate its technology roadmap and expand production. The company currently manufactures its products in Norway and plans to significantly increase production capacity to meet rising international demand.
Alva operates at the intersection of robotics, automation, electrification, and advanced manufacturing. The company’s motors are designed for applications ranging from dexterous manipulation and mobile robotics to aerospace systems, autonomous platforms, and advanced industrial machinery.
Samsung Ventures invested in Alva in December 2025. As part of this equity round, Samsung Ventures is converting its investment into shares.
Nysnø Climate Investments is the Norwegian government’s climate investment company and backs companies and funds that support greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Sandwater invests in deep-tech and impact-driven companies across areas including energy, resource efficiency, robotics, AI, and health.
Nabtesco Technology Ventures is a corporate venture fund launched by Japan’s Nabtesco Corporation in partnership with Emerald Technology Ventures. The fund focuses on disruptive technologies and open innovation opportunities.
Alva is headquartered in Trondheim, Norway. The company is positioning its electric motor platform as an enabling technology for the next generation of advanced machines.
