In partnership with CPI, EverQuest Capital Partners can offer investors access to off-market opportunities and connect high-growth potential companies with CPI’s technical expertise, including access to laboratories, pilot-scale facilities, and expert guidance across multiple disciplines.

EverQuest Capital Partners said it is focused on technologies and manufacturing solutions with the power to transform critical UK industries. These include healthcare innovations that relieve pressure on the NHS, advanced semiconductor technologies for future digital infrastructure, renewable energy breakthroughs to meet net zero goals, and automotive developments to drive the transition to green mobility.

The launch of this fund comes as the UK faces growing challenges in healthcare, sustainability, and manufacturing efficiency. The shift toward a circular economy and the urgent need for greener manufacturing solutions make EverQuest Capital Partners’ focus more relevant than ever, the company said.

With experience in high-value markets such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, energy storage, HealthTech, and sustainable food production, CPI can offer SMEs a unique advantage, providing access to technical infrastructure and expert support to help businesses accelerate their innovations to market.

In addition, EverQuest Capital Partners is guided by an investment team with over 30 years of experience in venture capital and innovation funding.

“Today is a hugely exciting day as we launch EverQuest Capital Partners, the first fund to focus on Deep MakeTech. Deep MakeTech is the field where advanced processes, designs and materials converge to disrupt existing markets by transforming the way things are developed and made. This is an exciting market, and many disruptive firms have come from this field in recent years, including Tesla, AMSL and Moderna,” Stephane Mery, a partner at EverQuest Capital Partners, said in a statement.

“We want to help companies with bright ideas realise their potential and open doors for them that will accelerate those products and processes to market.

“We are also announcing today a unique strategic partnership with CPI. This means we aren’t just bringing financial benefit; we’re also able to give companies access to some of the best technical people in the country as well as state-of-the-art equipment to test and hone their ideas.”
