In Germany, one confirmed mega deal above 100 million euros.
One.
Admittedly, there was a bigger deal, but it's not in the data yet, but we covered it in the news.
The German problem in 2026 is no longer startup creation.
The problem is capital intensity.
The geography twists Bavaria, Berlin and the strategic clusters.
And the geography is shifting too.
For the second year in a row, Bavarian startups received more venture capital than Berlin startups.
3.3 billion euros into Bavaria and 25 according to EY, 2.68 billion into Berlin.
Seven of the top 10 German financing rounds went to Bavarian companies, including Helsing, Green Flexibility, Jubilis, Or-tivity, Quantum Systems and Scalable Capital.
Munich startups grew their venture capital intake by 38% year on year.
This is not just an intercity rivalry.
This is the German startup map becoming less about one startup capital and more about specialized technology regions.
Munich for defense, AI and quantum.
Aachen for Hardware, Robotics and Second Life Battery Infrastructure, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe for Mobility and Hardware, Hamburg for Life Sciences, Berlin for Fintech, AI Software and Platforms, North Rhine-Westphalia,
rising steadily on hardware and energy.
If you are an investor, this means the diligence map has changed.
Berlin is no longer the default first stop.
If you are a founder, it means location matters more than it did five years ago because clusters now confer real economic advantages.
