Innovation capital is the amount of capital raised by companies with revenues of less than US$500 million.<br />
Of the nearly US$10 billion in capital raised by European<br />
biotechs, US$9.1 billion (91%) was innovation capital. This<br />
total represents a 29% increase over 2014’s then-record<br />
US$7.0 billion. As in the US, European biotech <strong>financing</strong>s<br />
dwindled in the second half of the year, especially the fourth<br />
quarter. Only about 30% of the total capital was raised in the<br />
second half of 2015 (US$3 billion of the total), though venture<br />
capital bucked the trend, with about two-thirds of Europe’s<br />
2015 venture <strong>financing</strong> raised in the second half of the year.<br />
