EWQ takes part in the Kasvunrakentaja competition
We’ve been selected as the first company to be featured in the Kasvunrakentaja competition, organised by Pääomasijoittajat ry (FVCA) and PwC Finland. The competition highlights growth stories from private equity portfolio companies, with the final held at the Finnish PE-VC Summit on 8 October 2026.
From a small player to the Nordic leader
We founded EWQ in 1996, and over three decades have grown from a small Finnish company into one of the Nordic region’s leading retail tech providers. We help retailers and service environments digitalise in-store communication and improve the customer experience. Our technology is used in electronic shelf labels, digital advertising displays, customer guidance, and queue management. Today we serve more than 3,400 customers across Finland, Sweden, and Denmark..
Evli joins to accelerate growth
In 2024, Evli Private Capital joined to help accelerate our next phase of growth. For us, what mattered most in bringing in an investor wasn’t just capital, but above all the ability to make more long-term decisions.
“This recognition is a strong indication that long-term work in retail tech is also being noticed in the investment community. Evli’s involvement in 2024 gave us the ability to think further ahead and make decisions that will pay off for years to come.”
— Sampo Brisk, CEO, EWQ
