DACH relevance and Startuprad.io coverage

EQT is one of the largest European-headquartered private markets firms and a defining reference name in European private equity. In the DACH mobility sector, EQT — through its EQT Future fund — acquired a 35 % stake in Flix jointly with Kühne Holding in July 2024, a transaction widely reported at an implied valuation of approximately €3 billion. This position followed, and is separate from, the June 2021 Flix Series G growth round in which EQT did not participate.
