Venture capital – market trends in 2025

Professional venture capital investors have in-depth technology and industry knowledge, invest to generate returns and therefore play a key role in the allocation of innovation and growth capital. The expectations of German investors currently diverge across the various technological domains. Investors see very good growth opportunities for artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and dual use technologies. Climate tech evolved into the technological area with the highest deal volume in the German venture capital market in 2024 but growth expectations for 2025 are more muted than three years ago. Investors see relatively low growth opportunities in more mature markets, especially in e-commerce.
