Noetix Robotics, the Beijing-based humanoid robot maker backed by CATL, has filed confidentially for a Hong Kong IPO that could raise several hundred million dollars as soon as next year. The company, formally known as Songyan Power Beijing Technology Co., raised 1 billion yuan ($150 million) in March from a CATL-affiliated industrial investment platform. The filing comes as several Chinese robotics firms line up for Hong Kong listings, though recent market reaction to Unitree's August Shanghai IPO has tempered enthusiasm for the sector.
