EQT’s strategic vision is to provide the most successful investment organization and network of industrialists in those markets in which the funds operate by combining entrepreneurship, industrial thinking and financial discipline. The funds invest in companies in which EQT can act as a catalyst for change and growth and to transform companies into global or regional leaders by making genuine and sustainable improvements.

The approach of the Equity, Expansion Capital and Infrastructure Funds is to acquire or finance high-quality, market-leading, medium-sized companies in growth industries with a potential for top-line growth and to contribute to their industrial acceleration. In special situations, the funds focus on applying the industrial acceleration approach to companies that have a sound underlying business and a clear value-creation potential but face problems that require financial support and special expertise to resolve.
