Sweden funding falls 66% to €865M

Sweden-based companies raised €865M across 38 deals in the 90 days to 24 July 2026, down from €2.5B across 44 deals in the prior 90-day window — a 66% decline in capital and a drop of six deals. That leaves Sweden as the seventh-largest of the twelve markets tracked in this window, behind the UK (€13.1B), Germany (€6.8B), France (€1.9B), Spain (€1.1B), Belgium (€995M) and Finland (€947M), and just ahead of the Netherlands (€848M). The pullback stands out against a broader European picture that was mixed rather than uniformly weaker: the UK's total rose from €7.6B to €13.1B and Germany's from €1.5B to €6.8B over the same two windows, while France, Switzerland and Sweden all recorded lower totals than in the prior period. Sweden's prior-period figure of €2.5B had been one of the largest among the twelve markets, so the swing to €865M marks one of the sharpest reversals in the set, even as its deal count fell by a more modest 14%.
