These figures reflect the sustained investor interest in sectors that are at the forefront of innovation and societal impact. As expected, AI-based companies are attracting the most investment both in terms of overall activity and value - something that is reflected by wider industry trends. However, it’s positive to see sectors other than AI showing increasing levels of activity, hopefully demonstrating that the venture capital space isn't over reliant on one technology trend. In particular, we observed a significant (11.5%) rise in Medtech activity, which represents a substantial increase compared to the levels recorded in 2023.
