Investment 2021 was a record year for climate tech investment, with over $111bn raised by startups and scaleups globally, of which $4bn was raised by UK companies, and just under $39bn by US based companies. Climate tech investment, as presented here, cuts across a range of tech areas, so a comparison to areas like fintech and healthtech is not without some duplication. However, for context, in 2021 climate tech companies globally raised more than enterprise software at $103.7bn, and in the footsteps of healthtech and fintech - companies in which sectors raised $119bn and $129.4bn respectively. Overall, climate tech represented 15.3% of all investment into tech startups and scaleups in 2021 ($111bn of $726.4bn raised in total). 2022 is set to be another record year for investment. Already at $73.86bn (compared with $111.24 in 2021), investment is being driven by large rounds ($185mn +) into later stage companies. Rounds like these skyrocketed in 2021 and confirm the maturity of the market.
