A study by Swedish investor EQT and consulting firm McKinsey finds that European technology companies with a combined valuation of €1.2 trillion (about $1.4 trillion) have left domestic capital markets over the past decade. According to the report, these firms either listed on foreign exchanges or ended up in the hands of non‑European owners, substantially reducing the sector’s presence on home markets.
The analysis quantifies the cumulative value at €1.2tn and attributes the shift mainly to foreign listings and cross‑border takeovers during the last ten years. It frames the development as a notable structural change in where European tech value is hosted.
Produced by EQT with McKinsey, the study highlights a sustained trend of diminished representation of European tech companies on local exchanges, underscoring changing ownership and listing patterns across the sector. #Europe #Tech #EQT #McKinsey #capitalmarkets #FiatNews
