Healthtech funding falls 44% to €1.42B

Healthtech funding fell from €2.531B in the prior 90-day period to €1.42B in the 90 days to 26 August 2026, a decline of 44%. Deal count dropped from 101 to 74 over the same comparison, a fall of about 27%, indicating that both average deal size and activity contracted rather than the decline being driven by a handful of missing megadeals alone.

Among the twelve sectors tracked in this window, Healthtech's €1.42B places it in the middle of the pack: below AI (€3.076B), Robotics (€2.777B), Software (€2.584B) and Fintech (€2.472B), but above Semiconductors (€853M), Cybersecurity (€849M), Space (€842M), Cloud (€827M), Deeptech (€821M), Cleantech (€748M) and Energy (€729M). The 44% contraction is steeper than most peers in the same period: AI fell 31% and Cloud fell 83%, while Fintech, Software, Robotics, Semiconductors, Cybersecurity and Space all recorded increases over the same two periods, underscoring that Healthtech's pullback stands out against a broader market where several sectors moved in the opposite direction.
