30-day funding total falls versus prior period
European tech funding over the 30 days to 11 August 2026 totalled €6.0B across 187 deals, down from €7.2B across 239 deals in the preceding 30-day period — a 15.8% drop in capital and a 21.8% decline in deal count. AI led sector activity in the latest window with €2.19B across 25 deals, well ahead of Healthtech (€778M, 23 deals) and Fintech (€618M, 16 deals), underscoring where capital concentrated even as the overall total contracted. At country level, the UK topped the ranking with €2.44B across 63 deals, including €292M in debt financing, followed closely by Germany at €2.09B across just 28 deals — a smaller deal count but a similar capital total, reflecting Germany's single largest round of the window, Helsing's €1.58B Series D+, the largest deal recorded in the period. Sweden ranked third among countries with €632M across 8 deals, buoyed by Neko Health's €614M Series C, the second-biggest round of the 30 days. Weekly figures were comparatively stable, with €824M across 28 deals in the latest 7 days versus €814M across 38 deals in the prior 7-day period.
