Our core services

  • iStock-1157293249_edited.jpg

    Entering the European robotics market is complex. With evolving frameworks like the EU AI Act, strict GDPR requirements, and fragmented national regulations, there is currently no standardised path for localizing AI-powered robotic systems. At SK3, we support international manufacturers – especially from the US and China – in making their technologies more compatible with European conditions. This includes navigating grey areas in compliance, adapting system behavior to social and legal expectations, and preparing for future certification pathways.

    A key challenge lies in achieving CE conformity – a prerequisite for market access in the EU. For robotic systems, this often means orchestrating a combination of safety, EMC, machinery, low-voltage and emerging AI-related directives. We help identify the applicable requirements, establish the necessary technical documentation, and prepare for third-party involvement where needed. While the path to CE marking can be demanding, we see it as a strategic investment in product trustworthiness and long-term scalability within the European ecosystem.

    For select partners, SK3 offers exclusive representation within the European market. This mandate-based model is designed for cases where deeper operational alignment is required – such as acting as the importer of record, coordinating certification responsibility, or serving as the primary market interface for high-stakes tenders. These mandates are structured to create clarity in roles, reduce transactional friction, and establish a reliable presence for non-European manufacturers within complex stakeholder environments.

    Such representation becomes particularly relevant when engaging with large institutional clients, public procurement bodies, or regulated industries that require a European legal entity, local accountability, and the ability to respond in native regulatory language. We act as an integrated partner – not just a distributor – translating technical, legal and cultural requirements into executable local strategies. Every mandate is bespoke, governed by transparency, legal precision, and long-term alignment of interest.

    While most robotics providers focus on selling technology, European end users often face a different set of challenges: lack of transparency, unclear liability, and insufficient product readiness for local deployment. SK3 offers representation services for institutional buyers, operators, and integrators seeking to engage with international manufacturers under secure and structured conditions. We act on behalf of the user – from early market scouting to negotiation, technical due diligence, and project coordination.

    This approach is particularly relevant for organizations planning to deploy robots in sensitive or high-impact environments such as healthcare, logistics, infrastructure or public services. We help articulate functional and regulatory requirements, evaluate product maturity, and ensure alignment with European legal and operational standards. Where needed, we also facilitate access to financing options – including Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) models, pilot funding mechanisms, and co-financing through innovation partnerships – to lower the entry threshold for robotic adoption. By serving as a trusted intermediary, we reduce procurement risks, increase supplier accountability, and accelerate successful integration of robotics solutions into real-world operations.

    The robotics sector is still in its formative phase – especially when it comes to mobile, AI-powered systems entering real-world environments at scale. At SK3 Robotics, we are actively building the knowledge base that this emerging industry needs. Our research focuses on identifying trends, mapping early dynamics, and exploring the economic, technical, and regulatory conditions that will shape the robotics landscape in Europe. We monitor new business models, technological breakthroughs, regulatory milestones, and early adoption signals to provide orientation in a space where few precedents exist.

    While robust market data is still limited, we contribute by generating early estimates, testing hypotheses, and connecting fragmented information into coherent outlooks. Our goal is not to predict the future, but to help shape it – by supporting better questions, smarter decisions, and more resilient strategies. Whether it's RaaS potential in healthcare, evolving human-robot interaction standards, or the implications of the EU AI Act – we investigate what matters before it becomes mainstream.

Workforce Gap

The automation paradox: While AI-powered robots are about ready to work, Europe faces a shrinking human workforce. Aging demographics, skills shortages, and reduced working hours put key sectors like healthcare, logistics, and infrastructure and the overall productivity and under pressure.


To secure resilience and productivity, we must rapidly mobilize assistive robotic systems and ensure their deployment where human labor alone is no longer sustainable.

Knowledge Gap

Innovation without implementation is stagnation. Although Europe leads in robotics research, a disconnect remains between labs, startups, and real-world use. Many enterprises lack the know-how to select, integrate, and operate robotic systems effectively.


To unlock the benefits of embodied AI, we need structured knowledge transfer, industry-specific best practices, and decision-making tools that reduce complexity and risk.

Service Gap

Robots can’t thrive in isolation. From predictive maintenance to technician training - Europe lacks the scalable service backbone needed for mobile robotics to go mainstream. Even future AGI driven robots require real-world support to remain productive and safe over time.


To enable widespread adoption, we must build a continent-wide support infrastructure covering lifecycle services, technical training, and integration reliability.

Ecosystem required

Infrastructure, not just innovation

Why a dedicated robotics infrastructure is necessary now:

Europe stands at the beginning of a new industrial reality: Mobile robots with AI capabilities are becoming operational – but the path to nursing homes, logistics centers, workshops or homes is rocky.

The shortage of skilled workers, demographic change, and the maturity of new technologies call for a solution that goes beyond individual products.

  • What is missing today is a common structure for:

  • Makers who want to bring their technology into real application fields

  • Users who want to understand what is sensible and feasible

  • Enablers who facilitate operation, training, or integration

SK3 is bridging the gap – as a platform, network, and enabler.
