GP Bullhound's 11th annual "Titans of Tech" report defines Europe's current technological renaissance, noting that the continent's unicorn count has nearly tripled since 2020 while total venture capital funding has recovered to $15 billion annually. Despite a stagnation in initial public offerings, the ecosystem is scaling through a surge in larger deals and strategic secondary liquidity rounds, with AI-native companies and dual-use technologies driving the majority of new capital allocation. Looking ahead, the firm projects 50 new unicorns within 24 months, a wave dominated by aggressive hiring and the development of sovereign hardware infrastructure rather than consumer applications.
