Skift Take

Europe is finally warming up to the American-style, risk big and risk early venture investment culture that has given birth to so many tech megabrands out of Silicon Valley.

Today we are launching the latest report in our Skift Research Reports service, European Venture Investment Trends in the Travel Industry.

This report highlights recent and historical funding trends in Europe’s turbulent travel technology startup scene. Despite an uncertain geopolitical and economic climate, the travel industry in Europe continues to attract new funding rounds with some successful exits. The recent acquisitions of Skyscanner by Ctrip Holdings and Momondo Group by Priceline highlighted an appetite on behalf of global players for European travel tech brands.

On Brexit: The United Kingdom’s decision to leave the EU was an unexpected result for many. The potential impact on the economy had been a topic of debate ever since David Cameron announced that he would let the public vote on the decision. Many experts, among them the government itself, predicted that leaving the European Union would have a strong and immediate negative impact on the British economy. While the pound “crashed” as the results were announced, in the months following the vote, UK stock markets have risen and the current state of the economy seems to be growing.
