European Venture Capital

Investors are monitoring a fresh wave of spinouts emerging from the Technical University of Munich, as seven startups prepare to launch new funding rounds aimed at scaling deep-tech operations. This activity coincides with a broader mapping of industrial tech across Europe, where 64 companies are attracting attention for their roles in digitizing manufacturing and supply chains. Private equity firms are increasingly shifting capital toward these specialized sectors to capitalize on the region’s engineering expertise.
