Germany's VDMA engineering association urges Europe to prioritise humanoid robotics development and establish resilient domestic supply chains for critical components amid growing global competition, highlighted by China’s Unitree surge.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Robotics.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Europe's robotics founders face a clear opportunity to build supply chain independence now that political attention is rising. You need to act fast on sourcing and scaling critical parts to avoid falling behind Unitree’s rapid growth.
