Robo.ai announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests of QC Capital Limited.
The proposed transaction values QC Capital at $60 million, payable in newly issued Class B ordinary shares of Robo.ai. The consideration shares will be subject to a vesting and release schedule of up to eight years.
Robo.ai said the transaction is expected to close within 30 business days, subject to customary closing conditions and other applicable requirements.
QC Capital is an AI-driven technology holding and venture-building platform focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, digital infrastructure, smart cities, autonomous driving, and the next-generation digital economy.
The proposed acquisition is intended to support Robo.ai’s development of a global artificial intelligence robotics network platform. Robo.ai said the transaction would strengthen its capabilities in technology company sourcing, capital allocation, venture incubation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, post-investment operations, and global commercialization.
The company also noted that the proposed integration builds on its previous experience acquiring Neurovia, an AI visual data processing and compression technology company.
QC Capital’s operating model focuses on AI agents, vertical AI applications, and industrial technology enablement across sectors, including industry, transportation, embodied robotics, and intelligent manufacturing.
The company expects to accumulate AI data, operating data from portfolio companies, post-investment operating data, and market feedback data. These resources are expected to support its AI Investment Engine and QC Alpha system for industry analysis, project screening, due diligence, risk management, post-investment management, M&A screening, and portfolio optimization.
QC Capital’s business system includes four core areas: venture building, strategic investment, M&A platform development, and AI investment technology. Its focus areas include AI infrastructure, smart cities, robotics and AI agents, autonomous driving and intelligent logistics, AI fintech, enterprise AI platforms, and the next-generation digital economy.
Under the acquisition agreement, the release of consideration shares will be linked to multi-year revenue targets. The structure includes a cumulative revenue milestone of approximately $2.4 billion across 2026 and 2027 as part of the key benchmark for phased release of the shares.
Robo.ai said the revenue targets are forward-looking and do not guarantee future performance. Subject to closing, integration, and revenue recognition under applicable accounting standards, the company expects QC Capital to become an incremental platform for medium- to long-term revenue growth, industrial synergies, and global AI ecosystem commercialization.
KEY QUOTES:
“Robo.ai is building a global artificial intelligence robotics network platform for the next generation of the intelligent economy.

Following the completion of the transaction, QC Capital is expected to serve as Robo.ai’s platform for strategic holdings, venture building, investment development and data asset growth, supporting the Company’s continued expansion across artificial intelligence, robotics, digital infrastructure, smart cities, intelligent mobility, low-altitude economy and the next-generation digital economy.”
