Six largest rounds equal nearly a third of recent-window volume

The six largest rounds tracked in the 90 days to 28 August 2026 sum to €6.104B, equal to 30.5% of the €20.04B total volume recorded in that window. Three of the six sit in Germany alone: Helsing's €1.576B round, Neura Robotics' €1.213B round and Quantum Systems' €1.053B round, together outweighing the remaining three deals from Belgium (Kpler, €861M), the UK (Nscale, €787M) and Sweden (Neko Health, €614M). This concentration in Germany-based companies suggests the country's contribution to the period's mega-deal activity was disproportionate relative to the five other countries represented among the largest rounds.

Placed against the wider market, the top ten rounds of the window total €8.121B, or 40.5% of the €20.04B recorded, meaning the six biggest alone account for three-quarters of what the top ten contribute. The recent window's €20.04B total also compares to €23.05B in the prior 90-day period, a decline of 13.1%, while deal count fell from 766 to 627, a drop of 139 deals. With a median round of just €5M against an average of €32M, the gap between typical and mean deal size reinforces how a small number of large rounds shape the aggregate figures.
