Key points
- European deep tech scale-ups raised over €4 billion since joining the EIC Scaling Club, with Spain's Multiverse Computing securing the largest single round of €500 million.
- Investment growth was 2.3 times faster than comparable businesses, and 80% of funding came from EIC or public co-investors.
Context
The EIC Scaling Club is an EIC-funded initiative for promising European deep tech scale-ups, launched in April 2024 with the second cohort in October 2024. It analyzes the funding performance of 120 companies across 26 European countries to demonstrate Europe's deep tech ecosystem potential.
Limitations
The report covers only 120 companies across 26 European countries and does not include data on pre-joining funding for all participating companies. The analysis relies on a single press release and does not include independent verification of the €4 billion total or the 2.3x growth rate.
