INVESTMENT ACTIVITY IN 2021 Investment Characteristics - Industry Sector
125
However, in 2021 Life Sciences’ share of investments dropped back to pre-COVID levels. There has also been significant growth in the share of investment activi- ty accounted for by the Services sector, rising sharply from 2019 to 2020 (from 14% to 21%) and increasing further in 2021 (28%). The growth of Fintech is likely to have been a contributory fac- tor. The Energy and Cleantech sectors continue to account for a small share of investment ac- tivity, although both sectors re- corded slight increases in 2021.
