startups and high-growth AI and Data Analytics companies across 22 countries
in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights, perspective

9% of European AI & Data Analytics scaleups are
spin-offs or spin-outs from universities and
knowledgeinstitutes.
It’s very much in line with the 8% of the scaleups
across all industries. It indicates that AI became
accessible to a largepoolof founders.
Even in the Autonomous Vehicles domain, only
one scaleup is a spin-off: BestMile from École
PolytechniqueFédéralede Lausanne.

16% of the European AI scaleups graduated from
an acceleration program. That’s 2% more than
the14% across all industries.
Program alumni don’t necessary raise more
money, but they are 1.5 years younger on average
when they raise money. It might well be that they
can start to scale earlier or have better access to
investorsthanksto accelerationprograms.

create jobs, expand international and create
economic value for stakeholders and society. This
group is attracting the lion share of (venture) capital,
in some countries of up to 90% of all capital. In other
words, we use the Pareto distribution rule to create
an accurate view on the venturing landscape. Only
deals of at least $1M / € 750K are considered.
We encourage you to review the methodology to better understand the
numbers presented in this report. We use a data-driven approach to track
