The EU is set to invest €1 billion to enhance domestic battery component production, incentivizing companies to reduce reliance on Chinese materials.

Despite the ambitious plans, challenges remain, as sourcing restrictions may elevate production costs and slow the rollout of green technologies.
EQT's Jean Salata emphasized the firm's strategy of pricing IPOs to ensure all investors can profit, viewing public offerings as a starting point for modernization rather than an exit strategy. This approach aims to build EQT's reputation as a high-quality private equity firm committed to long-term wealth creation. Following this philosophy, EQT's portfolio company Sagility India saw its share price rise over 28% since its debut on December 12.
