Ownership of Europe's biggest startup acquisitions is shifting abroad

Original: Ownership of Europe’s biggest startup acquisitions is shifting abroad

A report by PitchBook indicates that ownership of Europe's largest startup acquisitions is increasingly moving to foreign buyers. The data suggests that major European startups are being acquired by companies based outside the region rather than by domestic or European acquirers. Commentators are weighing what this means for Europe's tech ecosystem, its ability to retain strategic companies, and the long-term implications for local venture returns and industrial competitiveness.

Why now: Fresh PitchBook data showing foreign buyers taking over Europe's major startup exits is prompting debate about the region's tech independence.
