Every European advanced materials and composites round Sesamers has verified, most recent first. 60 rounds carry the tag – a genuinely active vertical, led by two large September deals in battery and sensing materials.
Two fresh rounds shown of 60 tracked. Historical rounds on this desk include PanTera’s €134M round (January 2026), Catalyxx’s €37M (July 2025), Faircraft’s €15M Series A led by Kindred Ventures (November 2024) and Altrove’s €12M (January 2025) – all on their company pages, not yet cross-referenced into this table. Nexeon’s growth round, backed by the UK’s National Wealth Fund, and iGii’s, backed by the Scottish National Investment Bank, both show public strategic capital actively funding British materials science.
Nexeon's €116.7M growth financing from the UK's National Wealth Fund on 31 August 2026 – a silicon-based battery materials company. iGii's €26.56M Series B from the Scottish National Investment Bank followed weeks later.
Why are UK public investment institutions leading these rounds?
Both the National Wealth Fund and the Scottish National Investment Bank exist to fund strategically important UK industry, and advanced battery and sensing materials qualify. This reflects UK industrial policy as much as venture appetite.
Does Sesamers take payment for placement on this list?
No. Rounds are listed because they are verified in the Sesamers database, most recent first.
