A subsidiary of Foxconn Technology Group, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, is investing US$30 million in Hong Kong-based Robocore Technology, marking the Taiwanese giant’s entry into the smart robotics market.
The deal was made through Foxconn Technology, a Taipei-listed company partly owned by Apple and Nvidia supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry. The investment formed part of Robocore’s Series D funding round, completed recently at its base in the Hong Kong Science Park.
“This isn’t just capital support – it’s a strong vote of confidence in our future,” said Roy Lim Long-hei, founder and CEO of Robocore. He added that Foxconn’s supply chain and manufacturing expertise would help the startup grow faster, expand into new markets, and prepare for a possible US IPO within five years. The move also reflects Foxconn’s broader strategy to diversify beyond smartphones into AI servers, robotics, and cloud technologies.

Robocore develops programmable service robots for healthcare, education, consumer use, and smart facility management. Its Israel-based unit, RoboTemi Global, created the temi AI-powered personal assistant robot.
Under the investment plan, Foxconn will first inject US$10 million for a 6.6% stake in RoboTemi Global, followed by two additional tranches of US$10 million each over the next two years.
Proceeds from the funding round will mainly support telemedicine expansion in the US, Europe, and Japan, alongside new consumer product launches in China and global sales growth.

Robocore said production is currently split between Dongguan and Taiwan, with the latter ramping up to serve the US healthcare market due to tariff advantages. With Foxconn’s backing, the company expects to triple its revenue within three years and grow fivefold by 2028.
Today, Robocore has robots deployed at nearly 20,000 sites worldwide, including 5,000 in the US across hospitals, elderly care homes, retail chains, and households. In Hong Kong alone, 720 robots are in use at 38 public hospitals, while in New York State, over 200 elderly homes use the temi robot for remote medical diagnoses. “We’re focused on scaling globally, using Hong Kong as a reference case,” Lim said.
