PRESS RELEASE Circus SE: Successfully Acquires Agentic AI Company FullyAI
Munich, May 21, 2025 – Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI-robotics for the food service industry, today announces the successful acquisition of agentic AI company FullyAI, marking a major milestone in its mission to build a unified intelligence layer across its robotics and software. FullyAI will become the cognitive engine of the Circus ecosystem — starting with a fully integrated AI-powered voice ordering terminal and expanding into real-time operational decision-making, predictive maintenance, autonomous optimization, and highly personalized user experiences across the Circus AI-Software and robotics ecosystem. By leveraging billions of data points at scale from Circus’ patented CA-1 meal supply robots, FullyAI unlocks a continuously learning, self-improving intelligence layer that connects every robot and software process in real time. Integrated with Circus proprietary systems, this unified ecosystem understands context, demand, and behavioral patterns through multiple owned data streams — including inventory and procurement systems, customer profiling, and real-time robot operations. This continuous flow of insights forms the foundation for the first ever global nutrition intelligence network — allowing Circus systems to anticipate demand, adapt dynamically, and scale precision nutrition worldwide. The operational layer (CircusOS), the physical AI-robotics layer (CA-1), and the intelligence layer (FullyAI) now work together seamlessly. “FullyAI further advances our autonomous systems and software into a true intelligent ecosystem: one that oversees, learns, and predicts. With this acquisition, we are laying the groundwork for a global nutrition intelligence layer — comparable to what Tesla has built in autonomous driving or Meta in social data — leveraging every data point to better understand complex nutrition patterns. With the acquisition of Fully, we are also expanding our growing stack of proprietary IP in the field of global nutrition autonomy for humans”, comments CEO and Founder of Circus SE, Nikolas Bullwinkel on the successful acquisition. As part of the acquisition, the FullyAI engineering team and management joined Circus. Niklas von Weihe, previously working closely with Meta’s (Nasdaq: META) advanced AI teams, joins as Director of AI. Minh Dao, former CEO of a leading growth and brand consultancy with clients like Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), Google (Nasdaq: GOOGL), and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD), joins as VP of Growth, overseeing new product verticals and brand scale initiatives. The transaction was completed on the terms defined in the ad hoc announcement dated January 12, 2025, including the issuance of 400,000 new shares with a 36-month lock-up period. The next steps required under company law to implement the acquisition are expected to be completed by the end of June.
