Europe’s startup scene is often overshadowed by Silicon Valley, but the continent is gaining ground with more than 60 tech startups valued at over $1bn.
Here, Sifted’s reporters dig into the data, strategy and challenges behind the most important European startups and scaleups. We ask which companies are making waves and which are the ones to watch in 2021?
Keep reading below and stay informed about Europe’s new economy!
For in-depth analysis of the French tech ecosystem, read the latest issue of The Sift report.
(P.S The data is from European Startups with valuation estimates from Dealroom. If there is anyone missing from this list, or anything is wrong, please let us know by email at [email protected]).
