Europe Mints 12 New Unicorns in 2025’s First Half as AI and Defense Lead

Europe’s tech scene shook off the summer lull as investors crowned 12 new unicorns across the first half of 2025. Deals ranged from Stockholm’s Lovable, which closed a July Series A, to London’s Mubi and Paris’s Zama. For now, the pipeline looks busy as funding season restarts.

Our Approach to External Linking

Why we link to other sites

We include links to external websites to provide useful context, cite primary sources, and direct you to official documentation, research, or tools that deepen your understanding of a story.

How we choose external links

• Relevance: The link must add clear value to the article or page.
• Credibility: Preference for official sources, recognized experts, peer-reviewed research, and reputable publications.
• Accuracy & recency: We aim to link to the most up-to-date and accurate versions of sources.
• Safety: We avoid linking to sites that appear deceptive, malicious, or that promote scams.
• Conflicts of interest: If a link involves our commercial relationships, we will disclose it and use appropriate labels.

What our link labels mean

• Source: Primary material, such as a filing, dataset, research paper, transcript, or original post.
• Official: A vendor, government, academic, or project’s own website or documentation.
• Analysis: A third-party explainer, review, or commentary that adds context.
• Affiliate/Sponsored: If we ever use affiliate or sponsored links, they will be clearly labeled and marked with the proper attributes (for example, rel="sponsored").

Technical handling of links

• New tab: External links typically open in a new tab so you don’t lose your place on our site.
• Link attributes: We may use rel="nofollow", rel="ugc", or rel="sponsored" as appropriate for search transparency and compliance.
• Shorteners: We generally avoid link shorteners. If used for tracking or brevity, we will disclose the destination on hover or in the surrounding text.

Responsibility & independence

External sites are not under our control. We are not responsible for their content, availability, accessibility, security, privacy practices, or any changes after we publish a link. Linking does not equal endorsement. See our Terms of Use for more detail.

Privacy and cookies off-site

When you follow a link away from TechNova Press, the destination site’s privacy and cookie practices apply. Review their policies before sharing data or making purchases. For how we handle data on our site, read our Privacy Policy and manage your on-site preferences via Privacy Choices.

Paywalls, geoblocking, and availability

• Paywalls: Some links may lead to subscription or registration pages.
• Region locks: Some content may be restricted in certain countries or networks.
• Version drift: Sources can change; we may update or replace links to preserve accuracy.

Security and safe browsing

• Be cautious with downloads, browser extensions, wallet plug-ins, and executables on third-party sites.
• Never enter sensitive information (for example, private keys or one-time codes) on sites you do not trust.
• If a linked page looks suspicious, please report it immediately.

Corrections, updates, and removals

We periodically review key links. If a link becomes inaccurate, broken, or misleading, we aim to update or remove it. You can help by reporting issues.

Report a problematic link

If you encounter a broken link, paywall notice, security concern, or believe a link is mischaracterized, contact us with the article URL, the link text, and a brief description via Contact the TechNova Press.

Changes to this guidance

We may revise this guidance to reflect best practices, platform changes, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be noted here. By using our site, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
