Weekly funding volume declines versus prior week

European tech funding totalled €822M across 42 deals in the 7 days to 3 August 2026, down 19.3% in value and 16% in deal count from the prior 7-day window's €1.02B across 50 deals. The decline sits against a 30-day total of €7.79B across 214 deals, meaning the latest week accounted for roughly 10.6% of the trailing month's value on less than a fifth of its deal count share.

Sector activity in the week was concentrated at the top: Semiconductors led with €271M from just 2 deals, followed by Proptech at €160M across 3 deals, while Software generated €96M from 9 deals. Over the trailing 30 days, AI remained the largest sector by value at €1.84B across 28 deals, ahead of Fintech's €1.20B across 21 deals, underscoring that the week's semiconductor and proptech concentration was not typical of the broader monthly pattern. By country, the UK led the 30-day window with €3.50B across 67 deals, of which €1.67B came from debt financing, followed by Germany at €2.49B across 40 deals with only €33M in debt.
