Existing backers Statkraft VenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and EnvisionTech also joined.
Samsung VenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →' investment, made in December 2025, was converted into equity as part of the deal.
Why now? Trondheim-based Alva says it has hundreds of active customer projects across commercial and defence markets. Demand is climbing from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in robotics, aerospace, and medical devices.
Its patented FiberPrinting technology produces lightweight, frameless motors that deliver high torque density and cogging-free performance.
What could go wrong? Alva currently makes its products only in Norway and must sharply scale production to meet international demand — a step that carries execution risk.
It also serves crowded, competitive sectors including robotics, aerospace, defence, and industrial automation.
The signal: The round pulls together a rare mix of climate-focused funds — Nysnø, Sandwater, and Emerald Technology Ventures — alongside strategic backers Statkraft Ventures and Samsung Ventures, whose December 2025 stake converted into equity here. That blend of climate capital and corporate strategic money signals investor conviction that compact, high-torque electric motors are becoming critical infrastructure for robotics, aerospace, and defence.
