Europe is the clear global leader in purpose- driven investment Most would agree that a key priority for the next decade is to achieve a sustainable future for all. But it’s im- possible to manage what cannot be measured. Through a collaboration with Dealroom.co, dating back to 2019, we have been able to quantify the investment into purpose-driven companies, helping us measure progress year-on-year. Under purpose-driven investing, we capture all companies addressing at least one of the United Nations’ 17 de昀椀ned Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Europe’s global leadership in purpose-driven investment is now clear. This year, Europe’s global share of total capital invested in purpose-driven tech companies leapfrogged the US, taking 41% of worldwide capital in- vested. Prior to 2023, Europe’s share had consistently landed at around a quarter of global investment, so this year represents a signi昀椀cant jump. Europe’s lead on a total capital invested basis now mirrors its longstanding leadership in early-stage invest- ment. Looking at rounds of $5M or less, a proxy for the Pre-Seed and Seed investment stages, Europe now commands 66% of all capital invested in purpose-driven tech companies globally, maintaining its long-run- ning global market leadership. 157 | Companies
