The year 2025 is marking a paradigm shift in investment and technology: here are the four essential trends with concrete examples and verified sources. We are entering the sixth month of the year… and what’s coming in June? Here we tell you the top 4 that every founder and VC should have on their radar! 🔥

1.- ¿What is the next AI bubble that nobody wants to be left out of?🤖🚀

June kicks off with the ecosystem wondering: are we in a new 1999, artificial intelligence version? The mega-rounds of OpenAI, Mistral, xAI and start-up companies have unleashed a frantic race to launch, pivot or invest in products with “AI-powered” labels.

In June we will see the rise of “AI wrappers” (startups on existing infra) and the first funds starting to say “no” to AI projects without deep differentiation👀.

2.-Sustainability is no longer optional: this is how it is winning over investors and startups.🌱💰.

Sustainability becomes the central focus of investments. Startups with a focus on clean energy, carbon capture, recycling and regenerative agriculture are gaining ground. It is estimated that this sector will exceed $50 million in investment by 2025, reflecting a strong global commitment to positive environmental impact.

¿How june arrives ?🚀 The month comes with new opportunities to raise capital and scale clean technology: calls for climate funds and green accelerators in Spain and Latin America stand out.

3.- Barcelona, Paris and Lisbon: cities that are rewriting the rules of the entrepreneurial ecosystem🚀📈
Southern Europe is gaining ground against Silicon Valley.

Paris consolidates its position as a leader in venture capital investment, driven by events such as VivaTech 2025 that bring together VCs and large corporates focused on AI, sustainability and mobility. Barcelona accelerates its deeptech ecosystem with new funds and softlanding programs that attract international startups and specialized talent. Lisbon positions itself as a magnet for global solopreneurs and founders, supported by tax incentives and policies that facilitate the arrival of tech talent.

June is loaded with key initiatives

European hubs promise to accelerate the creation and scaling of startups: from massive investment rounds, to specialized acceleration programs, to talent attraction policies that can make a difference for founders looking to grow internationally. Bcombinator sees it clearly: the next unicorn can speak Spanish or French from day one.

4.-Biotechnology leaves the lab and enters the pitch decks🧪🎙️

Biotech is no longer the exclusive territory of lab scientists. Thanks to AI, automation and bio-as-a-service platforms, more and more founders without a technical background are creating biotech startups from scratch, focused on health, food, longevity and biological synthesis.

🧪 ¿What’s coming in June?

Accelerators for bio-startups led by founders without PhDs and new APIs that facilitate biotech creation without a lab are launched. ¿Is a new wave of biotech business opportunities coming?

A PLUS👀:

¿Did you know that adopting an AI First strategy can be the key to differentiate your startup?🤖🤔

Putting artificial intelligence at the center of your business not only improves the customer experience, but also drives operational efficiency and constant innovation. Aligning your culture with this mindset and empowering your team is the step that many leading startups are already taking.

In summary, these trends show how AI and the search for authentic experiences are revolutionizing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

At Bcombinator, we are focused on supporting the next generation of startups leading this change.
