EQT Foundation

The EQT Foundation serves as a philanthropic entity providing catalytic risk capital to advance a regenerative and inclusive future. It actively supports entrepreneurs and researchers, offering non-dilutive funding for high-risk, deep-tech approaches and projects that accelerate impact investing. The Foundation's core capability lies in identifying and empowering nascent initiatives that aim to push the boundaries of societal and environmental innovation.

Established in 2019, the EQT Foundation was founded by the core group of partners at EQT, a global investment organization, coinciding with EQT’s stock exchange listing. This initiative stemmed from a collective insight among the partners regarding the need to direct philanthropic capital towards early-stage, impactful ventures and research that often fall outside conventional commercial funding frameworks, thus fostering broader societal contribution.

The Foundation's beneficiaries include pioneering entrepreneurs, scientists, and change agents developing solutions in sustainability, social equity, and other critical areas. It aims to empower these innovators by providing essential resources to explore ambitious, transformative ideas. The long-term vision is to cultivate a more inclusive and regenerative global society by accelerating the development and adoption of breakthrough technologies and impactful research.
