Other sizeable rounds went to companies working in quantum computing, food delivery, cybersecurity and energy, indicating that capital reached a relatively broad range of technologies despite the concentration among the largest deals.

Capital was highly concentrated at the top, with the five largest rounds accounting for nearly three-quarters of the total. The largest transaction was Wayflyer’s €212 million debt financing, aimed at increasing its funding capacity for small and medium-sized businesses. Fintech and medical and healthcare companies were particularly prominent, each attracting more than €110 million across multiple deals.
