[여의도튜브] 작년 세계적 로봇 기업 8조 인수... 獨-스위스 기업도 눈독 / 머니투데이방송

SoftBank Group Chairman Masayoshi Son, who sold Boston Dynamics to Hyundai Motor Group on the grounds that time was needed for commercialization by 2020, is hurriedly making repeated large-scale bets on the robotics industry. This time, the company that has caught Chairman Son's eye is the Swiss construction robot startup, Gravis Robotics. Bloomberg reported on the 26th (local time) that SoftBank is considering acquiring Gravis Robotics. According to the report, SoftBank is discussing a plan to secure a stake in stages by purchasing existing shareholders' shares and injecting new capital; if the deal goes through, the enterprise value is said to exceed $500 million (approximately 733.2 billion won). However, negotiations are still in the early stages, so the scale and structure of the deal have not been finalized, and both SoftBank and Gravis declined to comment.
