Company mission

To accelerate the transition to a Big Data-driven economy and society.

Our take

In an increasingly data-driven world, effective management of data is important for businesses across all industries. The vast amount of data available provides valuable insights into a company's performance, empowers informed decision-making, and enables accurate predictions.

QBeast, a spin-off from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Centro Nacional De Supercomputación), wants to make data lake management easier and help teams enhance their predictive capabilities and optimise operations. QBeast's technology enables businesses to handle massive amounts of data, unlocking valuable insights and driving efficient decision-making processes.

So far, QBeast has garnered interest from a wide range of sectors, highlighting its broad applicability and the potential impact of its offerings. With recent funding secured, the company is poised to accelerate its go-to-market strategy by filling crucial commercial roles and doubling down on product development, technology, and partnerships. This injection of resources will surely propel the company forward, enabling it to seize new opportunities and grow its reputation within its industry.
