European Tech Map Charts Over 700 Companies Across the Continent

The European Tech Map has launched as a comprehensive directory plotting 754 technology companies across Europe. This interactive resource categorizes firms by location, deployment model (SaaS, on-premises, hybrid), and specialization, offering real-time visualization of Europe's decentralized tech ecosystem.

Companies range from enterprise-scale operators like SAP (Walldorf, Germany) and Siemens-owned Mendix (Rotterdam, Netherlands) to specialized players like cybersecurity firm Vade Secure (Lille, France) and open-source platform Nextcloud (Stuttgart, Germany). The platform enables geographic filtering, showing notable clusters:

• SaaS dominance: Nearly 70% of listed companies offer cloud-based solutions
• Privacy-first hubs: Zurich (Proton), Berlin (Mailbox.org), and Tallinn (Cryptee)
• Open-source strongholds: Paris (Mautic), Cologne (Ceph), and London (Element)

Funding patterns emerge indirectly through company distribution. Berlin hosts 42 VC-backed firms including deep-tech leader DeepL (raised $100M) and neobank N26 ($1.8B total funding). Stockholm's 38 entries include payment processor Klarna ($4.5B raised) and AI scale-up Sana ($54M).

Notable inclusions:

• Privacy tools: Tutanota (Hanover), Tresorit (Zurich), Skiff (discontinued, alternatives listed)
• Developer infrastructure: Platform.sh (Paris), Qdrant (Berlin), GitGuardian (Paris)
• Regulatory tech: Signicat (Trondheim), iDenfy (Kaunas), Scrive (Stockholm)

The map reveals Europe's divergence from U.S. tech concentration models. While lacking Silicon Valley-style density, regional specialization emerges:

• Nordic nations lead in fintech
• Germany dominates industrial SaaS
• France/Belgium show strength in open-source infrastructure

For founders and investors, the tool addresses market fragmentation challenges. Users can filter by specialization like "EU-only" data compliance or self-hosted solutions – critical for GDPR-sensitive clients. The radius search function enables localized partnership discovery.

Ongoing submissions will expand the dataset, currently capturing companies from Vilnius to Valencia. The project provides tangible evidence of Europe's maturing tech landscape beyond traditional hubs.
