European defence startup funding to quadruple to $10.5 billion
Original: State of Defence Tech 2026: European defence startup funding to quadruple to $10.5B
European defence startups are projected to raise $10.5 billion in 2026, roughly four times previous funding levels, according to a new State of Defence Tech report. The surge reflects Europe's push to rearm and build indigenous defence capacity, with investors pouring capital into companies developing drones, munitions and other military technology as governments increase defence budgets.
Why now: European rearmament and rising defence budgets are driving record investor interest in defence startups.
