ABU DHABI – Robo.ai Inc., a UAE-based technology company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker AIIO, has announced a proposed acquisition of QC Capital Limited, an AI-driven technology holding and venture-building platform, in a deal valued at US$60 million.
In a statement on Wednesday, Robo.ai said the acquisition will involve the purchase of 100 per cent of QC Capital’s equity interests through the issuance of new Class B ordinary shares.
The shares will be subject to a vesting and phased release schedule over a period of up to eight years.
The transaction is expected to close within 30 business days, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory requirements.
Robo.ai said the acquisition forms part of its strategy to expand its global artificial intelligence robotics network platform and strengthen its position in AI technology development, venture incubation, industrial investment and cross-border mergers and acquisitions.
The company expects QC Capital to contribute capabilities in technology sourcing, capital allocation, post-investment operations and global commercialisation, building on Robo.ai’s earlier acquisition experience involving AI visual data processing firm Neurovia AI.
Under the agreement, the release of the consideration shares will be tied to QC Capital’s long-term business performance and revenue targets over multiple years.
QC Capital focuses on AI agents, vertical AI applications and industrial technology enablement across sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, robotics and intelligent logistics.
The company also develops AI investment systems using operational and market data collected from its portfolio companies.
According to Robo.ai, QC Capital’s AI Investment Engine and QC Alpha™️ system are designed to support industry analysis, project screening, due diligence, risk management and portfolio optimisation.
QC Capital’s operations are structured around four core areas — venture building, strategic investment, mergers and acquisitions platform development, and AI investment technology — with focus sectors including smart cities, autonomous driving, AI fintech, enterprise AI platforms and digital infrastructure.
As part of the performance-based arrangement, QC Capital is required to achieve cumulative revenue targets of approximately US$2.4 billion for 2026 and 2027 as part of the benchmark for the phased release of shares.
Robo.ai chief executive officer Benjamin Zhai said QC Capital is expected to enhance the company’s AI investment decision-making, data asset accumulation, venture-building and M&A integration capabilities.
“Following the completion of the transaction, QC Capital is expected to serve as Robo.ai’s platform for strategic holdings, venture building, investment development and data asset growth,” he said.
Robo.ai said the acquisition is expected to support its expansion across artificial intelligence, robotics, smart cities, intelligent mobility, digital infrastructure and the broader next-generation digital economy.
The company noted that all revenue projections and performance expectations relating to the acquisition are forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
