About
Hive Autonomy (branded as “HIVE”) is a London- and Norway-based physical-AI company building what it calls a “silicon brain” — a single intelligence platform that lets industrial machines in warehouses, production lines, and construction sites perceive, decide, and act autonomously across different machine types and tasks without new integrations or per-machine model training 12. The company was founded in Norway in 2020 and is currently deployed across several Scandinavian sites while expanding into the US 2. On 2026-07-07, HIVE announced a €13.1 million ($15 million) pre-Series A led by UK-based SuperSeed, with participation from Veriten (US), Skyfall (Norway), and Nysnø (Norway), plus angel investors Børge Hald (founder of Medallia) and Jørn Lyseggen (founder of Meltwater) 12. The company said the capital will accelerate development of its platform, expand the founding team with AI and robotics talent, and scale commercial deployments with existing and new industrial partners; it claims the platform reduces productive machine-hour cost by up to 80% when fully deployed 2.

What Founders Say
“What we actually are doing is that we’re delivering work hours. The only thing we’re delivering is output, one work hour or one shift on any machine, any brand, any machine type that you might have.” — Christoffer Jørgenvåg, CEO, Hive Autonomy 2
“The world is changing very rapidly and it’s driven by AI. We’re in the middle of a new industrial revolution, and this industrial revolution will be much bigger than the last one, but it will also go much faster.” — Christoffer Jørgenvåg, CEO, Hive Autonomy 2
