The European tech funding landscape shows signs of stabilization in 2024, but continues to face challenging conditions fueled by geopolitical and economic unrest. Startups are expected to raise $45 billion this year, down $2 billion from 2023, despite the rapid growth of the ecosystem over the past decade.
While there are now 35,000 early-stage tech companies in Europe compared to only 7,800 in 2015, the stark decline in exits is concerning. In 2024, there were only $3 billion in IPO value and $10 billion in M&A activity, a significant drop from previous years, highlighting liquidity pressures.
