The 25 tech companies that dominated European funding in 2025

From AI to infrastructure, European tech saw major investment in 2025. Explore the 25 companies that attracted the highest funding totals across the region.

According to the Tech.eu 2025 Annual Report, European technology companies raised €72 billion in 2025, making it the second-strongest year of the past three for tech investment. With more than 3,740 deals completed, investor activity remained resilient across the ecosystem.

The largest funding rounds of 2025 highlight a European tech ecosystem that is becoming more selective, strategic and infrastructure-driven, with investment flowing into technologies that support economic resilience, industrial competitiveness and long-term growth.

The companies attracting the most capital reflect a wide range of growth strategies and financing structures. While traditional venture and equity rounds continued to dominate in AI, software and defence technology, many of the largest transactions took the form of debt financing, particularly across infrastructure, energy, mobility and financial services (excluding acquisition-specific debt facilities).

Geographically, the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands emerged as key funding hubs, with strong contributions from the Nordics and Southern Europe.
