UK capital surge: €11.3bn recent vs €7.3bn prior on fewer deals

The UK recorded €11,300M in venture and growth funding over the 90 days to 24 June 2026, up from €7,341M in the prior equivalent period — a rise of €3,959M, or roughly 54%, while deal count edged down from 195 to 186. That compression in volume alongside the capital increase pushes the implied average deal size from approximately €37.6M to €60.8M per transaction, pointing to a meaningful shift toward larger individual rounds within the window.

In the context of the broader dataset, the UK's €11,300M recent total is more than three and a half times the next-largest country, Germany, which recorded €3,187M on 93 deals. France, the third-ranked market, reached €2,318M across 72 deals — a decline from its prior-period €3,106M. The UK's share of the twelve-country recent total stands at approximately 46%, compared with roughly 38% in the prior period, reflecting both its own absolute growth and the contraction seen in several peer markets.

Germany and Sweden also posted modest capital gains in the recent window — up from €2,869M to €3,187M and €1,255M to €1,530M respectively — while Finland and Belgium recorded sharper proportional increases from smaller bases. The UK's combination of scale, deal-count stability, and rising average size distinguishes it from these patterns and cements its position as the dataset's dominant capital concentration point by a substantial margin.
