From energy transition to deeptech growth: the Swedish tech ecosystem

From energy transition to deeptech growth: the Swedish tech ecosystem


In 2025, European tech investment reached €72 billion,
making it the second-strongest year of the past three. Sweden raised €4.1 billion, ranking fifth among European countries by total funding.

Investment in Sweden was concentrated in capital-intensive
sectors, with a limited number of large transactions accounting for a
significant share of total funding. Hardware and energy attracted the highest
levels of capital, reflecting strong activity in data infrastructure, power
systems, and clean energy technologies, and highlighting Sweden’s role in
industrial and sustainability-focused innovation.

Software and health technology formed a second tier of
activity, supported by a steady stream of mid-sized venture and growth rounds.
Software funding spanned digital platforms, enterprise tools, and product
development, while healthtech investment continued to support advances in
medical technology and digital healthcare.

Transportation technologies linked to electric mobility and
logistics also attracted meaningful capital, reinforcing the country’s focus on
industrial innovation. Meanwhile, sectors such as fintech and legal technology
remained active but comparatively smaller in scale.

Emerging fields, including
artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and cleantech, recorded
consistent early- and mid-stage funding, signalling growing investor interest
despite more limited capital deployment relative to the leading sectors (for
