AI funding concentrated in three rounds over seven days
AI-sector funding over the seven days to 16 July 2026 reached €1.58B across just 3 deals, an average of roughly €528M per deal, well ahead of Fintech's €658M across 7 deals and Healthtech's €626M across 8 deals over the same window. That concentration meant AI accounted for 47.9% of the €3.31B moved across all sectors in the period, despite contributing only 3 of 44 deals recorded.
Over the 30 days to 16 July 2026, AI retained the top spot by value with €1.87B across 25 deals, ahead of Fintech's €1.35B across 28 deals and Robotics' €1.10B across 6 deals, confirming AI as the leading sector by value in both windows. Germany, home to two of the ten biggest rounds of the past 30 days, led all countries with €4.03B across 44 deals in the same 30-day period, well above the UK's €2.26B across 55 deals.
