Ireland’s top-funded tech companies in H1 2026

In the first half of 2026, Ireland's tech ecosystem raised approximately €630 million in funding, positioning the nation among Europe's top 10 for total tech funding. The majority of capital was concentrated in the largest rounds, with the top five transactions representing nearly three-quarters of the total amount. Wayflyer, a fintech firm, secured €212 million in debt financing, aimed at bolstering its funding capacity for small and medium-sized businesses.

Fintech and medical/healthcare companies led the funding, each garnering over €110 million across multiple deals. Other notable sectors included quantum computing, food delivery, cybersecurity and energy, highlighting the broad range of technologies receiving investments. Later-stage companies also garnered a significant portion of the funding, with Series C rounds alone amassing almost €157 million, while Series A and B activity contributed substantially as well.
