Germany's funding rises to €6.38B despite fewer deals

Germany recorded €6.38B across 90 deals in the 90 days to 20 August 2026, up from €1.44B across 111 deals in the prior 90-day window — a 343% rise in capital even as deal count fell from 111 to 90. This puts Germany second among the tracked European markets by recent capital, behind the UK's €8.49B across 176 deals but ahead of France's €1.66B, Spain's €1.17B and Sweden's €1.12B. Germany's increase stands out for its scale: no other country in the set posted a comparable jump, with most markets showing more modest gains or outright declines between the two periods. The UK remains the largest market by both capital and deal count in the recent window, while Germany's rise, concentrated in fewer transactions, lifted its average deal size well above its prior-period level even as the broader set of tracked countries showed mixed trends in deal volume.
