David Reger

CEO & Founder
NEURA Robotics
Germany
David Reger's career in the robotics industry began in Switzerland as a manager of high-tech companies in the automation and robotics industry. This time gave the young entrepreneur two far-reaching insights: First, respect for existing technological achievements should never be an excuse for leaving the seemingly impossible untried. Second, only a completely new approach to robotics can overcome the technological barriers to make robots a natural companion in a modern, social society. With the hiring of an experienced yet down-to-earth doer, David Reger founded NEURA Robotics GmbH in 2019 – and brought the first production-ready cognitive robots to market in record time, based on a technological platform that combines artificial intelligence with groundbreaking sensor and hardware design, turning robots into smartphones with arms and legs. Reger has been appointed to important thought leadership and advisory positions, including the Senate of German Economy and the European Senate for Economics and Technology.
