European Start-up Investments Decline with Hope for Recovery

Despite a challenging year, European tech firms show potential for a rebound in 2025.

Investment in European tech start-ups is expected to fall to $45 billion in 2024, down from $47 billion the previous year.
German start-ups are projected to secure $6.7 billion in venture capital, a decrease from $7.1 billion in 2023.
Atomico's report highlights a significant growth in the number of early-stage tech start-ups in Europe, surpassing other regions.
European start-ups face challenges in securing large funding rounds compared to their American counterparts, partly due to limited pension fund investments.
Despite current setbacks, Atomico anticipates an increase in IPOs and funding for 2025, driven by a pipeline of promising companies.
