What counts as logistics and supply chain here
Any company moving goods rather than people, or software that manages that movement – freight visibility and tracking, warehousing marketplaces, procurement risk monitoring, last-mile delivery, and cargo transport including space logistics. The vertical spans two very different profiles: conventional B2B supply-chain software raising single-digit-million rounds, and one striking outlier, The Exploration Company, whose €387M Series C for reusable orbital cargo capsules is more than 25 times the size of any other round tracked.

The desks
Two are live. Only one event and zero funds carry this tag – too thin for ranked desks, so both are covered below instead

Not enough for a ranked desk, but worth knowing
The debate
One question the data raises directly – with a verdict
Should one €387M outlier define how this vertical is understood?
The Exploration Company's Series C is more than 25 times larger than the next biggest round tracked. Remove it and the vertical's funding desk shows a conventional B2B supply-chain software category – freight visibility, warehousing, procurement – raising single-digit to teens-of-millions.
The case forThe round is real, verified, and genuinely a logistics company – reusable cargo transport to orbital destinations is logistics infrastructure, just for a different environment. Excluding it because it is unusually large would be an editorial thumb on the scale.
The case againstA single outlier this large can badly mislead a reader skimming headline numbers into thinking European logistics tech attracts €300M+ rounds routinely, when the category's actual pattern – visible once you set the outlier aside – is much smaller, steadier B2B software funding.
Where we land: The round stays on the desk, ranked honestly by amount, because it is a real and verified logistics company. But this page and the funding desk both say explicitly that it is an outlier and describe what the vertical looks like without it – the responsible way to handle a single number that would otherwise distort the whole picture.

Frequently asked
About this vertical and how we cover it
Why is there no ranked events or investors desk?
Only one event (Global Mobility Call) and zero funds carry this tag explicitly. The event is named on this page; founders should also check the Cleantech and Deep tech investors desks for adjacent capital.
What is the largest logistics round in Europe?
The Exploration Company's €387M Series C in September 2026, for reusable orbital cargo capsules – a striking outlier, more than 25 times the size of any other round tracked here.
What does European logistics tech funding actually look like, typically?
Without the outlier, single-digit to teens-of-millions Series A and seed rounds for freight visibility, warehousing marketplaces and procurement software – a conventional B2B SaaS funding pattern.
Why does a space company appear in this vertical?
The Exploration Company builds cargo transport to orbital destinations – logistics, just in a different environment. It also carries the Defence tech tag.
How often does this page change?
The two live desks refresh weekly. This page will gain full events and investors desks once more funds and events with a specific logistics focus appear in the data.
Can I suggest a company, fund or event?
Yes – and dedicated logistics-focused fund suggestions are especially useful for this vertical. Use the suggest links on each desk. We verify before publishing.
