Transatlantic Investment Activity Surges 34% in 2025
Crossover Consulting LLC today released its annual Transatlantic Investment Report, revealing a 34% year-over-year increase in cross-border investment activity between the United States and Europe in 2025. The report, based on proprietary data from the firm's 750+ client engagements and supplemented by public market data, provides the most comprehensive view of transatlantic capital flows available to the market.
Key findings from the report include a significant uptick in US venture capital investment into European technology companies, particularly in the enterprise SaaS and artificial intelligence sectors. European investments into the US market also grew substantially, driven primarily by German Mittelstand companies seeking to establish or expand their American operations.
"The data tells a clear story: despite geopolitical uncertainties, the economic ties between the US and Europe are strengthening, not weakening," commented the Head of Research at Crossover Consulting. "Companies on both sides of the Atlantic recognize that transatlantic expansion is not optional -- it's a strategic imperative for long-term competitiveness."
Key Sector Trends
The technology sector led transatlantic investment activity with a 42% increase, driven by strong demand for European AI and cybersecurity companies among US investors. Healthcare and biotechnology followed with a 38% increase, as US institutional investors continued to recognize the value of European clinical research excellence and regulatory pathways.
The energy and cleantech sector emerged as the fastest-growing category on a relative basis, with transatlantic deal volume increasing by 56% as companies sought to leverage complementary strengths in renewable energy technology and project development. Industrial and manufacturing transactions remained robust, with German automotive suppliers particularly active in establishing US production facilities.
Outlook for 2026
Crossover Consulting projects continued growth in transatlantic investment activity through 2026, with total deal volume expected to surpass $180 billion. The firm identifies AI-driven enterprise solutions, precision medicine, and green hydrogen as the three sectors most likely to attract significant cross-border capital in the coming year.
