Sweden's funding falls 47.4% while deal count holds steady
90 days to 2026-08-20
Sweden recorded €1.12B across 34 deals in the 90 days to 20 August 2026, down from €2.13B across 38 deals in the prior 90-day window, a 47.4% drop in capital while deal count fell just 10.5%. That places Sweden fifth among the twelve tracked countries by recent capital raised, behind the UK (€8.49B), Germany (€6.38B), France (€1.66B) and Spain (€1.17B). The divergence between the capital and deal-count declines indicates fewer large rounds pulled down the total rather than a broad pullback in the number of transactions. Sweden's decline stands out against a mixed regional backdrop: Germany's recent total rose to €6.38B from €1.44B prior, and Spain's climbed to €1.17B from €655M, while France, the Netherlands and Sweden itself all recorded lower capital than in the prior window. Sweden's recent total of €1.12B remains above smaller markets such as Belgium (€969M), Finland (€627M) and the Netherlands (€618M) in the same period.
