From our UK site: More money has been invested in European media and tech outfits so far this year than throughout the whole of 2006..media/tech investment through 2006 was about $1 billion (11 percent of all venture capital investments), it had already reached $1.03 billion by Q3 this year (up to 17 percent of all VC). Q2 was the most fertile in the period with $453 million invested (over 20 percent of all Euro VC). The figures also include Israel.
- Video: As consumer broadband quickens, a fifth of all ventures funded since January 2006 are in the video space – but they pulled in 44 percent of investments made to content and services companies (£205 million) – a fifth of all media/tech funding. Deals included $34 million to Dailymotion and $45 million to Joost. More here on PCUK.
