The Netherlands is home to some of Europe\u2019s biggest tech companies, such as Adyen, ASML, Just Eat and Mollie, and sits fourth globally by total market cap of public tech companies. The nation boasts more startups per one million people than the continent\u2019s average and is in the top five European hubs by a number of $1b+ startups. This is the result of the close cooperation of Dutch founders and partners in the ecosystem. However, the Atomico State of European Tech 2021 report clearly highlights a number of key areas that must be quickly addressed for the ecosystem to truly reach its full potential.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Make Something People Want\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-image section\" data-section=\"\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1wl6ah-55527007c1cbe43cc001c324781a4108\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1wl6ah-55527007c1cbe43cc001c324781a4108{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1wl6ah-55527007c1cbe43cc001c324781a4108 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_sidebar '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><div id=\"avia_auto_toc-2\" class=\"widget clearfix avia-widget-container avia_auto_toc avia_no_block_preview\"><div class=\"avia-preview-headline\">techleap Table of Contents<\/div><div class=\"avia-preview-info\">Title: <\/div><div class=\"avia-preview-in-front\">Table can only be rendered in frontend.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7nvxy-dad4d604514394f7dd2e82465ba1f8a8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-7nvxy-dad4d604514394f7dd2e82465ba1f8a8{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-7nvxy-dad4d604514394f7dd2e82465ba1f8a8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_sidebar  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-dtxrq-b6ac7c56ec6719803c1c318238fa544f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-22dak6-a2df5b19bfa48c19e50209c3d3edb75e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div>\n<h3>A mixed year for funding<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Europe is firmly positioned as a global tech player in 2021, with a record $100b of capital invested, 98 new unicorns, and the strongest ever startup pipeline, putting the continent on par with the US.<\/p>\n<p>European tech is now creating value at its fastest pace, adding $1t in just eight months.
