With total new funding volume reaching USD 10.1 billion, 2022 is the second highest in history after the skyrocketing 2021. The percentage of foreign investors in M&A deals in the German tech start-up ecosystem remains high at 67%. For this year’s EY Venture Capital Study, we analyzed current trends, funding volumes, exits and M&A activities in the German tech start-up ecosystem in 2022.
