## Resource

As of 2026, German venture capital investment has stabilized after a multi-year correction but remains highly concentrated. AI, defense technology, biotech, energy infrastructure, and robotics account for an increasing share of investment activity. Germany continues to invest significantly less venture capital relative to GDP than the United Kingdom and the United States, creating potential constraints for strategic technology scaling.
