Yoram Wijngaarde (Dealroom): Europe's Tech Ecosystems, Ranked

Yoram Wijngaarde, founder and CEO of Dealroom, describes the company's intelligence platform and its Global Tech Ecosystem Index, built with government partners from Tokyo to São Paulo. The latest data shows London re-accelerating, with the UK capturing nearly half of all European VC this year (Wave, Isomorphic cited) amid a return to concentration and network effects around King's Cross. He highlights deep tech now drawing roughly half of VC and benefiting university cities like Oxford, Cambridge, Ghent and Eindhoven, and says a combined London-Paris-Amsterdam corridor would rank second globally behind the Bay Area. He argues regulatory fragmentation hurts Europe while city-level diversity is a strength, and that Europe isn't at the AI frontier but can selectively play there.
