European tech raised €27.8 billion in Q3 2026, and over €1.5 billion last week

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Investors put €27.8 billion into 732 European tech deals in the third quarter of 2026. That is up 32.4% on the €21 billion of the same quarter in 2025, and the 2024 equivalent was €11 billion, so the total is now over two and a half times that. The UK took €12 billion of it, about 43%, and AI companies €6.7 billion, around 24%.

The latest week added more than 65 deals worth over €1.5 billion, plus at least four exits, acquisitions and related stories. Legora raised $550M at an $8.8B valuation. The Scaleup Europe Fund led a £250M round in Pigment, and iwoca secured a €185M credit line, which is also a way of being funded. Standard Chartered is buying Zodia Custody, and Omnidocs has acquired WoodWing.

Spain's share came in smaller cheques. Linkener secured €7.5M to grow its energy management platform; Remolonas raised €2.1M backed by Clave Capital, EONIQ and SEGO Venture; FlamAid closed a €1M round; Swanlaab put €1M into RawData, which digitises agriculture; and Hausum raised over €500,000 for growth and expansion across Spain.
