EQT's Scaleup Europe Fund has completed its first investment by contributing €300 million to Finnish satellite company Iceye. This funding was part of a larger capital raise in June, where Iceye secured a total of €1 billion, valuing the company over €10 billion.
The €5 billion fund, initiated by the EU, seeks to bolster strategic technology sectors, including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, to reduce reliance on US technologies. The investment in Iceye aligns with the EU's objective to support growth in advanced technology firms and may have implications for future listings in European markets.
