Dealroom.co – Accelerating Europe, Feb 2025

The main theme of the report is the state of the European innovation ecosystem and its significance for the region's future. The report highlights the need for combining capital with long-term positive thinking and high risk tolerance. Europe has significant growth potential, with 35,000 early-stage startups, more than any other region in the world. There are significant opportunities for creating additional value and jobs in the European tech sector. Europe must overcome a $375 billion growth funding deficit to match the US in growth-stage funding likelihood. Increasing investments from European pension funds and large insurers can help close this gap.
