What We Do
QED (https://qed.ai) builds data systems and AI for health and agriculture. It is a fully mission-driven technology company, working on humanitarian projects aligned with SDGs 2, 3, 6, and 15, usually based in East Africa or South Asia.
With each project, we aim to empower organizations that have outstanding goals, by shaping and redirecting tech to align with their circumstances on the ground such that they can better collect, manage, and analyze the data needed to inform policy decisions.
