Business lines
EQT Private Equity
Investment range
The EQT Private Equity Advisory Team has vast investment expertise, industry and sector knowledge, and extensive networks in the local business communities and societies in which it operates. With a strong sector-based approach and by maintaining a local-with-locals presence, the team is uniquely positioned to analyze companies and the markets in which they operate, and to develop proprietary investment opportunities.
BPEA EQT

BPEA EQT has been transforming Asian companies through its pan-Asian investment platform for over 25 years. With a top-down thematic origination model and value creation centered around active ownership and transformation, the team is uniquely positioned to identify and source compelling investment opportunities across the entire region.
EQT Ventures
Investment range
The EQT Ventures Advisory Team aims to support great entrepreneurs throughout different stages of growth, providing access to capital and in-depth specialist experience. The EQT Ventures funds employ a multi-stage strategy to make equity investments, typically ranging from late seed rounds all the way to growth rounds. This means the EQT Ventures’ support window is wider than a typical single-phase fund.
EQT Future
Investment range
EQT Future invests in downside protected, mature market leaders with high profitability and cash generation, while leveraging rigorous impact measurement and management tools to drive impact at scale within Climate & Nature and Health & Wellbeing. EQT Future is fully integrated into the EQT Private Capital platform, combining EQT’s private equity expertise with advanced impact thinking.
EQT Future is EQT’s lighthouse strategy for impact. The Fund seeks to generate net positive impact in portfolio companies through two pathways: 1) identifying and incentivizing a pivot from the existing market offering at the time of investment towards products and services with a measurable positive impact; and/or 2) scaling existing impactful products and services for greater reach and depth of impact.
EQT Future builds on sustainability themes for transformational impact at scale, and focuses on mature market leaders, which differentiates it versus other impact strategies.
EQT Future sets portfolio-wide, highly ambitious ESG targets to transform how businesses are operated, also linking parts of carried interest to such targets to create a clear alignment of interests. The targets are supplemented by asset-specific impact KPIs, designed to accelerate positive impact of the company’s products or services.
EQT Life Sciences

EQT Public Value
in market cap
EQT Public Value applies a private equity investing approach to the public markets by building significant influence positions in publicly-listed companies in the Northern European mid-cap space. The strategy targets undervalued, quality businesses and helps them realize their full performance potential by joining the Board of Directors and implementing value creation plans from behind the scenes. The primary value creation approach is to be a collaborative “constructivist” owner, supporting management and thereby creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
