Netherlands funding rises 49.3% as deal count falls to 21
90 days to 2026-10-23
The Netherlands recorded €1.27B in funding over the 90 days to 23 October 2026, up 49.3% from €848M in the prior 90-day period, even as deal count fell to 21 from 28. The combination points to capital concentrating in fewer, larger rounds rather than a broader-based increase in activity.
Within the broader set of 12 European countries tracked over the same window, the Netherlands ranks sixth by recent funding, behind the UK (€10.8B), France (€4.3B), Spain (€1.69B), Germany (€1.56B) and Sweden (€1.51B). Its 49.3% increase outpaces larger markets such as Germany, which recorded a decline over the same comparison, though it trails the growth seen in Portugal, where funding rose from €56M to €572M. In deal volume, the Netherlands' drop to 21 from 28 contrasts with countries such as Denmark, where deal count rose from 12 to 20 despite a smaller funding base of €236M.
