Europe Venture Capital (VC) Market Analysis
The record amount of venture capital investment in Europe this year suggests that the appetite for the region's startups remains strong despite the global pandemic. Including investment in Israel, VCs invested $46 billion in the continent as of December. The reason being that many startups have flourished at a time when remote digital services from food delivery to ecommerce are in more demand than ever. Identifying and nurturing start-ups today is essential for continued innovation in Europe, as well as laying the groundwork for a better tomorrow.
2020 was a challenging year for people, companies and countries across Europe. European venture capital did not escape the effects of COVID-19 but responded with characteristic strength. The industry secured another year of investment growth as funding for European start-ups and scale-ups rose for the eighth year running to Euro 12 billion. Moreover, as this report clearly illustrates, investment flowed across the continent - from London, Paris and Berlin to Catalonia, Copenhagen and Dublin. Europe is packed with entrepreneurial talent and populated throughout with hubs that are driving start-up excellence.
European VCs have raised more in 2021 to date than in any previous year. European VCs have raised Euro 14 billion in new funds in 2021, compared to Euro 12.6 billion in full year 2020, a previous record. Despite economies falling into recessions, unemployment rising drastically across numerous different sectors and multiple stimulus measures being announced by pretty much all of the European nations, venture deal value and activity hasn't really reflected impacts of COVID-19.
