Top Ten Notable European Tech Deals from June 2025: Insights You Can't Afford to Miss
In June 2021, the European tech ecosystem experienced a surge in investment activity, with a total of €6.5 billion raised across 323 deals. This vibrant market activity is a clear reflection of strong investor optimism, particularly in the fintech, AI, and B2B software sectors.
Key trends in June's tech deals included a focus on AI and legaltech, with strategic investments expanding geographic footprints and product capabilities. B2B software and fintech sectors also saw funding momentum, underscoring their critical role in transforming business operations and financial services. Notably, about 85% of the total investment was driven by the ten largest deals, highlighting the scale and impact of marquee transactions.
Propel Finance's €1.5 billion funding round was a significant highlight in the fintech sector, underlining the sector's rapid growth. In the AI realm, Doctrine's strategic investment in dejure.org, a German legal database, strengthened Doctrine’s presence in Europe with over 16,000 legal professionals using its AI-driven legal analytics services. Another notable event was Legaltech Clio's $1 billion acquisition of vLex, a cross-border legaltech acquisition that leverages AI tools for legal research and case management.
The B2B software sector also saw significant capital raised, with GCP's Fund VI closing at £411 million. Although specific names for other top deals in fintech, AI, and B2B software were not explicitly listed, the data shows over €3.1 billion in funding for over 85 tech deals in the first week of July 2021, continuing the trend of strong investment in these sectors.
The prominence of AI-powered legaltech solutions and large fintech funding rounds were especially notable during this period. The UK, in particular, raised €1.8 billion in June, up from €1.4 billion in May, leading the tech investment charge.
