This study aims to contribute to improving financing opportunities for technology-driven startups in Europe. It introduces the Technology Investor Score (TIS), a novel metric designed to identify investors specialising in tech companies as measured as the percentage of patenting companies in their portfolio. Leveraging this metric, the study creates a comprehensive mapping of specialised technology investors available to European startups and explores key areas of interest for European competitiveness.
