From Tech.eu:
This year has already seen a sharp rise in the amount of funding European tech companies have raised compared to last year, and now with half of the year well and truly behind us, we can get a good feel of how the exit scene is shaping up for EU tech companies too, as we bring you our analysis of Q2’s mergers, acquisitions and IPOs.
Across April, May and June 2015, we saw a total of 162 European tech companies secure an exit, totalling a massive €47.95 billion.
This is a significant increase on Q1 which saw 140 exits with a cumulative value of €37.53 billion. Most tellingly, it means that 2015 has already seen a higher value of disclosed exits (€85.48 billion) than Tech.eu has monitored for the whole of 2014 (€80.14 billion).
