Eclipse was founded with a mission to power the Industrial Evolution. Since 2015, we’ve helped entrepreneurs build exceptional companies that make physical industries more efficient, resilient, and profitable.
Last week, Chris Walti had the privilege to speak with fellow robotics leaders and innovators at the Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP AI + Robotics Summit in DC!
This was a great opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry and discuss how the biggest issues in AI and robotics are shaping key priorities in Washington.
It was also a pleasure to speak alongside fellow Eclipse portfolio companies. Bright MachinesRylan Hamilton#AIRoboticsSummit24. 🤖
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently said, "In a world being transformed by clean energy transition, by dynamic emerging economies, by a quest for supply chain resilience — by digitization, by artificial intelligence, and by a revolution in biotechnology — the game is not the same."
The game is indeed not the same. And the opportunity is unprecedented. The powerful combination of people, technology, capital, and national commitments is fueling the Industrial Evolution.

Retail is a cornerstone of modern society, yet physical stores remain burdened by what we call the last great data desert — knowing precisely what's happening on store shelves. Simbe was founded in 2014 to modernize retail through AI and automation – solving a common, everyday inconvenience for shoppers and a massive, $2T problem for retailers. Today, the company announced its $50M Series C to continue to execute on its vision. More from Fortune: https://bit.ly/3Uqll7N

Our mission is to improve access to life-saving theranostic #radiopharmaceuticals for the millions of patients who need them. To that end, we’re proud to announce one of the biggest steps we’ve taken to date: the development of two new facilities in Mesa, Arizona and Springhouse, Pennsylvania.
Totaling more than 100,000 square feet, these new spaces for research, development, and commercial production were chosen for their proximity to important markets. They will help contribute to local economic growth in both areas and will allow partners like Fox Chase Cancer Center and Mayo Clinic to share in the benefits of scale and location.
