A thriving network of incubators, accelerators, and coworking spaces further supports this ecosystem, enabling startups to scale rapidly. These developments have created more investment opportunities for venture capitalists eager to back the next wave of innovation. Reflecting this trend, Berlin-based VC firm naturalX Health Ventures launched a €100 million fund in February 2025 to support European consumer health startups. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between wellness and medicine by investing in science-driven, consumer-centric health solutions. Additionally, the success of major German startups has bolstered investor confidence, strengthening the country’s position as a leading venture capital market.
