There is no doubt this year started with a boom for European med-tech companies. Public markets opened in the U.S. and cross-border investors are deploying capital. With many companies looking to conduct clinical trials, raising funds and bringing their devices to the market, 2025 is expected to be prosperous, mitigating the difficulties of the previous two to three years.

Basel Medical Group Ltd. is the first Singapore-based med-tech to price an IPO on the Nasdaq this year, aggregating gross proceeds of $8.82 million on its debut. The funds will be used to power future M&As and business expansion plans in Singapore and Southeast Asia, the company said.

With the closing of its $350.7 million series D, Eikon Therapeutics Inc. has notched two financial high marks for the still young year. The funding is the biggest venture capital round of 2025 and it’s also the first series D.

Reflecting a positive reception in the market, Kestra Medical Technologies Ltd. increased the target haul for its planned IPO from $100 million to between $140 million and $160 million in an S-1 amendment filed Feb. 26. The company will offer 10 million shares at $14 to $16 per share, with the final price to be set the week of Mar. 3, just ahead of the offering date.
