Stiftelsen EQT Foundation backs early-stage deeptech and translational science that can move from lab to market, with a strong emphasis on climate, health, and rare disease breakthroughs. It also supports systems-level initiatives that improve how capital reaches impact entrepreneurs, especially through innovative finance and market-building efforts. The foundation tends to fund researchers, university-affiliated teams, and select nonprofit or ecosystem partners with catalytic, non-dilutive support.
Catalytic non-dilutive grants and occasional strategic investments, typically in the $25,000-$100,000 range for science calls, with some larger scale grants to ecosystem partners; many opportunities are open calls with fixed deadlines, while others appear programmatic or invite-based.
Watch for open-call deadlines on the EQT Foundation site and apply with a highly translational proposal that clearly shows lab-stage readiness, technical risk, and potential real-world impact. Strong applications should fit one of their specific challenge areas (for example, blood-brain barrier delivery, rare disease, or critical minerals substitution) and show a credible path to de-risking toward market or clinical translation.
