The Netherlands is maintaining a strong position within the shifting European tech landscape. While startup funding across Europe declined by 5 per cent, Dutch startups raised €3.1B over the past year, a 47 per cent increase from 2023.
This growth is largely driven by deep tech and the continued scale-up of established ventures. Deep tech now makes up 35 per cent of the national ecosystem, supported by advances in AI, semiconductors, and quantum technologies.
At the core of this momentum is Amsterdam. The city has emerged as a key hub for technological development and investment.
In 2025, startups based in Amsterdam secured $686M across 99 funding rounds, according to Dealroom. With around 1,219 startups operating in the city, nearly 45 per cent of the national total, Amsterdam looks to play a central role in shaping the direction of the Dutch tech sector.
Recent funding rounds in the Dutch capital city span a wide range of industries, including digital finance, sustainable infrastructure, defence, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. Together, they represent the growing depth and diversification of the city’s startup ecosystem within the broader Dutch tech landscape.
