Superlinear, the AI company on a mission to redefine industrial productivity, today announces a €6M Series A funding round. The capital will be used to scale Holon, a proprietary AI Operating System designed to coordinate people, processes, and machines, targeting structural productivity gains of 10–30% for large enterprises.

Moving from scarcity to opportunity 

European industry faces a critical challenge: stagnating productivity and rising complexity are threatening our future prosperity. While AI adoption is growing, its economic impact has been limited because most solutions focus on individual tasks rather than systemic efficiency.

We see AI everywhere today, except in the GDP statistics. That is what Superlinear is here to change,” says Davio Larnout, CEO of Superlinear. “To move from a world of scarcity to a world of opportunity, we cannot just automate silos. We must orchestrate the entire system.

The AI OS for the physical economy 

Superlinear is moving beyond the "copilot" era to launch Enterprise Orchestration. Holon is an AI Operating System that connects data, decisions, and physical operations in real-time. By replacing static business rules with dynamic, system-wide optimization, the platform enables complex organizations such as ports, logistics chains, the military, and manufacturers to unlock the agility and speed required to adapt to a volatile world.

A mission to raise EU GDP by 1%

The company’s ambition extends beyond software; it aims to secure the competitiveness of the European economy.

Our goal is to raise EU GDP by 1% by structurally increasing enterprise profitability,” Larnout continues, “The 500 largest European enterprises represent roughly €14 trillion in economic output. If we can increase the output of just half those companies by 5%, we increase GDP by 2.5%. In our pilots, we are identifying the potential for 10–30% enterprise-level productivity gains, suggesting this goal is not just ambitious, but achievable.

International backing for a European mission

To support this industrial-scale mission, BDO fully secures the Series A round.

This investment from one of the world’s leading business advisory networks provides the capital and industrial rigor required to deploy mission-critical software in high-stakes environments. It signals a shift from experimental AI to proven, scalable infrastructure.

Superlinear stands out by focusing on measurable returns. Not hype, but results.” says Arnaud Naudan, CEO of BDO France. “This investment reflects our shared belief that AI must be a trusted accelerator of responsible growth.” adds Peter Van Laer, CEO of BDO Belgium.

Superlinear is currently deploying its AI OS for major European infrastructure and manufacturing clients, with plans to expand its footprint across the continent.
