European tech industry loses $400 billion market value, report says

LONDON/STOCKHOLM : The European tech industry saw $400 billion in value wiped out this year and an 18 per cent decline in venture capital funding, according to a report from venture capital firm Atomico.

Market pressures forced a number of Europe's best-known companies to raise funds at a discount to their once sky-high valuations. For example, Swedish payments firm Klarna Bank AB raised $800 million at a valuation of $6.7 billion, an 85 per cent drop from its 2021 price tag of $46 billion. Venture capital funding in Europe was down to $85 billion for the year, based on data collected across 41 countries, an 18 per cent decline from the $100 billion raised in 2021.
