Deeptech funding grows 58% to €1.2B

Deeptech funding in the 90 days to 28 July 2026 rose to €1.23B, up 58% from €774M in the prior 90-day window, even as deal count edged down from 49 to 46. The rise in capital alongside fewer deals points to larger average round sizes rather than broader deal activity: average funding per deal climbed to roughly €26.7M from about €15.8M previously.

Among the twelve sectors tracked, Deeptech ranks eighth by recent funding volume, well behind Cloud (€3.82B), AI (€3.79B) and Healthtech (€3.35B), and also trails Robotics, which grew from €433M to €2.62B. In relative terms, Deeptech's 58% increase outpaces Cloud's 30.6% and AI's 3.6% growth, though it falls short of Healthtech's 247.9% jump and Robotics' six-fold rise. By deal count, Deeptech's 46 rounds place it above sectors like Space (15) and Semiconductors (14), but well below Software's 165, underscoring that its funding growth is concentrated in fewer, larger transactions rather than expanding deal volume.
