The return of multiple mega-rounds ($100m+) sends a strong signal that global investors continue to see the UK as a place where world-class ideas can scale into world defining companies. At the same time, record Series A activity through to late-stage billion dollar plus raises – demonstrates a depth and resilience that few markets can match.“This breadth matters. With almost half of all 2025 funding rounds taking place outside London, regional hubs such as Cambridge, Oxford, Glasgow and Manchester are proving that innovation thrives nationwide. Together, these trends tell a broader story: one of maturity, international credibility, and enduring confidence in the UKʼs ability to produce globally relevant companies.“Fintech continues to stand out as the UKʼs flagship sector, combining entrepreneurial energy with global ambition. Its success, from landmark billion-dollar raises to steady growth among scaling firms, underlines the UKʼs unique ability to shape the future of financial services. But the picture is wider still. Growing interest in AI infrastructure, energy and climate tech are sectors with keen investor interest and areas sure to garner serious investment in the coming year. Health-tech and therapeutics, AI driven SaaS, quantum and deep tech continue to advance rapidly, showcasing the diversity of talent and ideas that power the UKʼs position on the global stage.“At HSBC Innovation Banking, we support this momentum everyday. Our role is to support the founders, companies and investors by bringing their ambitions to reality and driving the next wave of UK innovation – and to ensure the ecosystem remains not only Europeʼs leader, but one of the worldʼs most dynamic engines of progress.”Simon BumfreyHead of BankingPage / 3 Investment is growing at all stages, including megaroundsUK VC investment grew at every stage in Q3.
