About the management

David Reger, Founder and CEO 

David Reger is the founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, the German company that developed the first series-ready cognitive robot in record time. In recognition of his success as a founder and corporate leader, he was appointed to the German Economic Senate, the Economic Council, and the European Senate for Economy and Technology.

David Reger coined the term “cognitive robotics” and is considered a pioneer in the field. By combining artificial intelligence with groundbreaking sensor and hardware design, he transforms robots into integral parts of modern daily life, addressing urgent societal challenges such as skilled labor shortages.

In 2009, the technical model maker moved to Silicon Valley, where he served the community as a social worker. Returning to Europe in 2013, he built three successful high-tech companies focused on robotics.

Inspired by the conviction that respect for existing technological achievements should never hinder the pursuit of the impossible, he founded NEURA Robotics GmbH in 2019, driven by the idea of creating technologies that serve humanity.

In his role as visionary, technical expert, and responsible entrepreneur, David Reger actively shapes our society’s transformation toward a social robotics economy. He provides political impulses and influences the tech sector as a “down-to-earth doer.”
