Healthtech funding fell 45.4% to €1.42B across 75 deals in the 90 days to 20 August 2026, down from €2.61B across 107 deals in the prior 90-day period — a drop of 32 deals. The decline in deal count works out to roughly 30% fewer transactions, alongside the sharper fall in capital deployed.

Its prior-period total of €2.61B had been the second largest of the group, behind only AI's €4.53B, indicating a fall in relative standing alongside the absolute decline. Healthtech's deal count of 75 in the recent window matches AI's 75, while Software led with 141 deals.
