Single largest round exceeds €2.3B

The largest round of the 90 days to 21 August 2026 was Pure Data Centres (Pure DC), a UK-based company, which closed a €2.32B round, ahead of Germany's Helsing at €1.576B. The gap between the two is significant: Pure DC's round is roughly 1.5 times the size of Helsing's. Germany otherwise features prominently among the largest deals, with Neura Robotics at €1.213B and Quantum Systems at €1.053B also placing among the six biggest rounds of the period, alongside Belgium's Kpler at €861M and the UK's Nscale at €787M.

Together these six rounds total €7.81B, against an overall market of €22.69B raised across 646 deals in the window, up slightly from €22.02B across 783 deals in the prior period. The top ten rounds account for 44% of all capital raised, underscoring how concentrated activity is at the very top of the market, with the average round size at €35.1M against a median of just €5M, reflecting a wide spread between typical deals and the largest outliers such as Pure DC's.
