ABOUT QED
QED is an acronym of the Latin phrase “Quod Erat Demonstrandum”, which means “what was to be demonstrated”.
As a meeting organizer and a provider of a neutral
platform we identify new legislative proposals and make sure that the most relevant policy makers, regulators, NGOs and companies participate in the debate.
We firmly believe that through meetings and dialogue we can create a better understanding and, in the end, a better policy making.
