Swedish private equity firm EQT is exploring the sale of enterprise Linux provider SUSE at a valuation of around $6 billion (€5.5 billion), working with Arma Partners to test interest from global buyers. The process revives concerns over Europe's IT sovereignty as the German-origin company, owned by EQT since a 2023 privatization, faces another ownership shift.
