This document is a study by Serena Capital of 271 artificial intelligence and data startup fundraising rounds that occurred in Europe in 2016. Some of the key findings include:

- Early stage investments boomed, with €215M invested in 170 early stage startups.
- The focus in 2014-2015 was on marketing applications, but in 2016 the real world began getting "AI-ified" with investments in health, agriculture, retail, and other sectors.
