AI leads sector funding across both weekly and monthly windows

AI led sector funding in both the 7-day and 30-day windows to 7 August 2026. Over 7 days, AI companies secured €462M across 6 deals, more than any other sector and well ahead of Semiconductors' €270M from a single deal and Fintech's €77M across 3 deals in the same window. Over 30 days, AI's total reached €2.19B across 26 deals, ranking first among all sectors and ahead of Fintech's €1.21B from 18 deals in second place, with Healthtech (€814M, 25 deals), Cleantech (€507M, 15 deals) and Software (€372M, 46 deals) further behind. AI's 30-day total is equivalent to about 32.5% of the overall 30-day market of €6.74B across 194 deals. Within the top 10 rounds recorded over the period, Germany's Helsing raised €1.58B in a Series D+ round, the largest single deal disclosed, though sector-level rankings are separate from country-level figures such as Germany's €2.11B and the UK's €2.95B over the same 30 days.
