Dealroom.co – The 2025 European Deep Tech Report, Mar 2025

The main topic of the report is the analysis of the state and prospects of deep tech development in Europe.

Deep tech focuses on applying scientific and engineering breakthroughs in products for the first time. Europe has the potential to become a global hub for deep tech due to high-quality research, but it lacks an entrepreneurial culture. In 2024, €15 billion was invested in deep tech, which is 28% less compared to the peak in 2021. The main countries for deep tech in Europe are the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Despite the availability of early-stage funding, 50% of growth capital comes from outside Europe. M&A activity increased to $12.2 billion, but the largest exits were acquired by American companies.
