DACH Startup Ecosystem 2026: AI Mega-Rounds, Dual Use & Europe's New Venture Stack
The DACH startup ecosystem closed 2025 with unusually clear signals for 2026 — AI mega-rounds, defense-grade dual use, and a restructuring of Europe’s venture capital stack.

– Why €3B AI valuations change Europe’s startup narrative
– How dual use moved from story to category
– What founders must understand about capital, compute, and procurement
– Where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are quietly reorganizing advantage

Chris Fahrenbach — Startup News Co-Host
