Semiconductors funding rises to €941M as deal count holds near flat
90 days to 2026-09-08
Semiconductor funding in the 90 days to 8 September 2026 rose to €941M from €589M in the prior 90-day window, a 59.8% increase, while deal count edged up from 11 to 13, pointing to larger average ticket sizes rather than more activity. Within the broader sector ranking by recent funding, Semiconductors places eighth among the twelve tracked sectors, well behind AI's €6.2B and Cloud's €3.4B, but ahead of Cybersecurity's €863M and Energy's €784M. The 59.8% growth rate outpaces several larger sectors: Software fell 27.3% to €1.67B and Healthtech dropped 44.3% to €1.51B over the same comparison, while Cybersecurity grew faster still, up 216.1% to €863M. Semiconductors' 13 deals also remain modest next to Software's 133 or Fintech's 49, underscoring that its funding gain is concentrated in fewer, bigger transactions rather than a broadening of deal activity across the sector.
