From energy transition to deeptech growth: the Swedish tech ecosystem

In 2025, Sweden raised €4.1 billion in tech funding, ranking fifth in Europe. Investment focused on capital-intensive sectors such as hardware and energy, while software, healthtech, AI, and cleantech attracted smaller but steady funding.

In 2025, European tech investment reached €72 billion, making it the second-strongest year of the past three. Sweden raised €4.1 billion, ranking fifth among European countries by total funding.

Investment in Sweden was concentrated in capital-intensive sectors, with a limited number of large transactions accounting for a significant share of total funding. Hardware and energy attracted the highest levels of capital, reflecting strong activity in data infrastructure, power systems, and clean energy technologies, and highlighting Sweden’s role in industrial and sustainability-focused innovation.

Software and health technology formed a second tier of activity, supported by a steady stream of mid-sized venture and growth rounds. Software funding spanned digital platforms, enterprise tools, and product development, while healthtech investment continued to support advances in medical technology and digital healthcare.

Transportation technologies linked to electric mobility and logistics also attracted meaningful capital, reinforcing the country’s focus on industrial innovation. Meanwhile, sectors such as fintech and legal technology remained active but comparatively smaller in scale.

Emerging fields, including artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and cleantech, recorded consistent early- and mid-stage funding, signalling growing investor interest despite more limited capital deployment relative to the leading sectors (for more detailed analyses of the European technology ecosystem, check out Tech.eu’s annual report: European Tech 2025-The Big Picture).

Here are the 10 companies that raised the most in 2025.
