Gaining Momentum

Que Technologies is a verified Athens-based engineering and consulting firm participating in multiple EU-funded research projects (e.g., Horizon Europe, DECODIT, HEDGE-IoT) focusing on smart grids, IoT, and AI. While the company demonstrates legitimate technical innovation and a team size of ~30 consistent with grant data, the submission itself contained significant inaccuracies—specifically the claims that the product is for 'everyone' and used by 'most people', which are objectively false for a B2B/B2G specialized consultancy. The 'marketcap' figure likely represents cumulative grant funding or estimated valuation. The score reflects the solid underlying business reality, heavily penalized for the low-quality and hyperbolic traction claims in the submission.
