Venture capital funding into Irish technology SMEs treaded water in the third quarter of this year, finishing at €192.5m, just 1% ahead of the same period last year, according to the Irish Venture Capital Association Venture Pulse survey, published today in association with William Fry. This compares to a global trend where VC funding in the third quarter fell by 15% year over year. VC funding in Ireland for the nine months to the end of September fell by 18% to €945.3m from €1.1bn in 2023. Globally, VC funding fell by 3.7% over the same period. International VC funding into Ireland fell by almost €200m or 24% for the year to the end of September. International funding for the third quarter of €85m amounted to 44% of the total for the period. Gerry Maguire, chairperson of the Irish Venture Capital Association, commented: "A positive feature of the third quarter is that the number of deals rose by 55% to 59. While there were no rounds in the €30m plus range, this was compensated for by an increase in deals under €10m, including seed funding. These underlying trends reflect a buoyant ecosystem in Ireland for early-stage companies, many of which are involved in cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber Security, Quantum Computing, MedTech and Envirotech. "However, the potential for an isolationist-leaning incoming administration in the White House to implement policies that could be negative for Ireland emphasises the need for us to take these Indigenous companies to the next level and grow our own tech champions rather than rely on less committed overseas investment." Sarah-Jane Larkin, director general of the Irish Venture Capital Association, said that while there were no deals over €30m in this quarter, there was an encouraging bounce in smaller rounds. Deals in the €3-€5m range rose by 52% to €29m. €1m-€3m rounds grew by 16% to €26m, and deals under €1m rose by nearly a third to €9m. Seed funding, or first rounds raised by SMEs, more than doubled to €33.5m. Commenting on the opportunities for an incoming Government to enhance Ireland's competitiveness in an increasingly uncertain global market, Ms Larkin welcomed the small business provisions in a number of party manifestos, which emphasised the need for scaling up funding and, in particular, the backing of pension funds in this regard. She said that while the support for early-stage firms was a positive feature of the Irish economy, a warning signal was that the average deal size in Ireland has fallen since 2018 compared to comparative European countries. "Drip feeding of small rounds is not efficient. As a result, the proportion of Irish firms going out of business is higher than the European average." The largest deals in the third quarter were medtech company Neurent Medical (€18.2m); renewable energy firm Circal (€15m); EV and solar installation provider ePower (€15m); medical device company Luminate (€13.9m) and medtech firm, Loci Orthopaedics (€13.8m). Sarah-Jane Larkin added: "Access to public capital for VCs through the likes of EI (Enterprise Ireland) and ISIF (Ireland Strategic Investment Fund) in Ireland and EIF (European Investment Fund in Europe, has never been better. However, there is now a severe shortage of matching private capital in Ireland from investors such as pension funds, family offices and corporates. Government policy can have a significant impact in fixing this, as is happening in the UK, and in several EU countries such as Denmark and France." Life sciences were the leading sector in the nine months to the end of September raising 42% of the total (€392.8m), followed by Envirotech (13%), Regtech (10%), Fintech and Software (both 9%). In the third quarter, AI & Machine Learning was the third highest sector raising 11%.

Plus AI Detects Skin Cancer Like this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox, every weekday. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.us Can AI Bring Back the Dead? AI is increasingly used to create "digital resurrections," allowing people to interact with deceased loved ones through AI-generated avatars. While some see this as a tool for closure, others worry about its psychological and ethical implications. Critics raise concerns over privacy, consent, and environmental impact, questioning whether AI resurrections exploit grieving individuals or offer genuine solace. AI Mole Mapping's Role in Skin Cancer Detection  AI mole mapping technology, available at London's OneWelbeck Clinic, significantly enhances skin cancer detection. This advanced service creates detailed 3D skin maps to track mole changes over time. While human dermatologists remain essential for interpreting results, AI assists in meticulous monitoring. Although currently private and costly, it highlights the potential for AI to transform healthcare and promote early cancer detection. 74% of Companies Using AI See ROI A Google Cloud survey reveals that 74% of large companies using generative AI have achieved significant returns, with 86% experiencing a revenue increase of over 6%. Companies are investing AI gains into further development, improving cybersecurity, and enhancing user engagement. Success hinges on strategic alignment, senior leadership support, and fostering a culture of experimentation. Will AI Transform Social Media into a Less Human Experience? Mark Zuckerberg suggests AI will transform social media from human-centered to AI-generated content. As AI creates more content, questions arise about the loss of genuine human connection on platforms like Facebook. Zuckerberg also highlights AI's potential in VR, envisioning immersive AI-generated experiences. The shift poses challenges to social media's roots in fostering human interaction. Banks Use AI to Combat Financial Crime Financial institutions and RegTech companies are employing AI to fight financial crime, including money laundering and fraud, by analyzing large data sets for suspicious patterns. This approach improves the detection of illicit activities and reduces false positives. Despite advancements, experts believe criminals are adopting AI faster than banks, posing challenges in keeping up with evolving threats and ensuring data quality. New AI Model DeepPBS Predicts Protein–DNA Binding Accuracy USC researchers developed DeepPBS, an AI model that predicts protein-DNA binding specificity, marking a significant advancement in drug development. Utilizing geometric deep learning, DeepPBS analyzes protein-DNA interactions, generating spatial graphs. Unlike traditional methods, it predicts binding across diverse proteins, offering potential applications in cancer treatment and synthetic biology .
