What is deeptech?
Deeptech is an umbrella term for companies whose business model is built on in-depth scientific research or technical innovation, rather than software development or business model innovation alone. It is characterised by long development times, high barriers to entry and patent-protected technology with the potential to fundamentally change entire industries.
Common deeptech areas include advanced materials, quantum technology, life sciences, space technology and energy technology. Many of the most promising deeptech companies in Sweden are founded on university research and are still unlisted, which makes Eqvor one of the few places where private investors can gain access to them.

See the shareWhy invest in deeptech companies?
Deeptech companies often address problems on a global scale, which means the potential markets are enormous. Once the technology is commercially mature, growth can be exceptional. The high barriers to entry in the form of patents, proprietary technology and specialist expertise also create strong competitive advantages for the companies that succeed.
Sweden has a long tradition of turning university research into successful companies. Many of the country's largest industrial companies have their roots in precisely this model. Eqvor gives private investors access to the next generation of these companies at an early stage.
Risks to be aware of
Deeptech by definition involves high risk. The technology risk is real, the timelines are long and the capital requirements are large. Many companies are years or decades away from profitability. Unlisted shares also have lower liquidity than exchange-traded alternatives. Deeptech is best suited to investors with a long time horizon, a high risk tolerance and a broad portfolio.
Frequently asked questions about deeptech
What distinguishes deeptech from ordinary tech companies?
Ordinary tech companies are often built on existing technology and compete on business model, design or distribution. Deeptech companies instead compete with proprietary scientific knowledge that is hard to copy. That requires more capital and time, but also creates stronger and more durable competitive advantages once the technology is mature.
Why do Swedish deeptech companies often stay unlisted for a long time?
Deeptech often requires many years of research, prototype development and regulatory approvals before commercialisation is possible. During this time the companies are financed by venture capital and strategic investors rather than via the stock exchange. Eqvor gives access to these companies during the phase when most stock market investors cannot invest.
