Spanish tech companies raised approximately €1.7 billion in H1 2026, with capital concentrated among a relatively small number of companies. The ten companies that raised the most accounted for around 68% of the total.
Spacetech was the best-funded industry, attracting approximately €354.3 million, led by PLD Space, EOS-X Space, Arkadia Space and FOSSA Systems. Travel followed with around €266.1 million, largely due to Perk's financing. Medical and healthcare companies collectively raised about €195.1 million, while artificial intelligence companies attracted approximately €150.9 million. Other industries receiving notable funding included jobs and recruitment (€135 million), semiconductors (€121 million), software (€85 million) and fintech (€70 million).
Funding activity covered a range of stages, from pre-seed and seed rounds to Series A, Series B and later-stage financings. Early-stage deals were common, while larger growth-stage rounds contributed more to the overall funding value. Debt financing accounted for approximately 19% of the total capital raised.
Overall, H1 2026 saw a small number of large transactions alongside a broader base of smaller early-stage rounds, with space, healthcare, AI and semiconductors among the industries attracting the most capital.
