Transportation funding rises 89% to €511M on fewer deals
90 days to 2026-09-21
Transportation funding rose to €511M in the 90 days to 21 September 2026, up from €270M in the prior 90-day window, an increase of 89%. Deal count fell from 24 to 16 over the same comparison, pointing to larger average round sizes as fewer transactions carried more capital.
Among the twelve sectors tracked, Transportation's €511M places it at the bottom of the recent-window ranking, well behind AI's €6.41B and Cloud's €3.42B, and also trailing Cybersecurity's €626M and Semiconductors' €639M. Even so, its 89% increase stands out against sectors moving in the opposite direction, such as Healthtech, which fell from €2.69B to €1.58B, and Space, down from €1.31B to €954M, over the same two windows.
In deal volume, Transportation's drop from 24 to 16 mirrors a broader pattern of fewer transactions across several sectors in the recent window, including Fintech (73 to 53) and Software (153 to 132), even as several of those sectors' total funding moved in different directions from Transportation's.
