Telecom leads weekly sector funding on a single deal
Telecom topped the 7-day sector ranking with €300M, but that total came from a single deal, making it a concentrated result rather than a broad sector trend. Cybersecurity followed with €243M spread across 4 deals, and Software recorded the highest deal count of the week at 14, for €198M, giving it the lowest average deal size among the top three sectors. Over the 7 days to 15 September 2026, Telecom and Cybersecurity together accounted for €543M, against €1.1B tracked across 54 deals in that window, with Telecom's single deal alone representing about 27% of the weekly total.
Over the 30 days to 15 September 2026, Software's position looks different: it recorded 49 deals worth €421M, its highest deal count of any window shown, though well behind the 30-day leaders AI (€3.71B across 24 deals) and Cloud (€2.59B from a single deal). Neither Telecom nor Cybersecurity appears among the top six sectors by 30-day volume, underscoring that their weekly showing reflects short-term concentration rather than sustained sector-wide activity.
