Last week, we tracked more than 35 tech funding deals worth over €407 million, and 5 exits, M&A transactions, rumours, and related news stories across Europe.
📊 In December, total funding reached €4.5 billion, only slightly below November’s €4.6 billion. This came despite a decrease in deal activity, with 250 transactions completed (a 7.8 per cent drop compared to the month before).
📈 December also saw shifts in both geography and sector focus. Sweden led the month with €893.1 million raised, while software emerged as the top sector with €1.2 billion in funding, underscoring a renewed investor emphasis on technology and software-driven growth heading into the new year.
Have a great week!
