Barcelona 2025: Our First Global Meetup. A Journey of Connection, Growth and Development

Happy Anniversary Q-team! A 5 years Journey of Connection, Growth and Development

We’re making it happen! For the first time ever, we’re bringing the whole team together in one place. No more video calls, no more chat messages – just real, face-to-face connections. Barcelona 2025 will be our moment, a turning point that transforms us from a group of colleagues into a truly united global team.

2025 marks the 5th anniversary of Quertum, a journey of incredible growth, innovation and success. We’ve come a long way and the momentum is only accelerating!

From the local event to vision for the future

It all started small back in September 2024, when we had our first-ever in-person meetup, but only locally. It was an incredible experience, but we knew it was just the beginning. 

This time, we’re going way bigger. From the very first session, the energy will be electric. Strategy deep dives, innovation workshops, security insights — every discussion will push us forward. Let’s be honest, it will feel amazing to brainstorm together in the same room instead of through a screen.

The power of real connections

The real magic will happen in between — on coffee breaks, rooftop gatherings and those spontaneous, late-night conversations where ideas flow as freely as the drinks. We’ll laugh, share stories and get to know each other beyond online meetings. It will be a reminder that at the heart of everything we do, it’s people who matter most.

A well-deserved celebration

Of course, no milestone should go uncelebrated. We’ve worked hard to get here and Barcelona will be the perfect place to hit pause, raise a glass and appreciate just how far we’ve come. Because this won’t just be a checkpoint—it’ll be the start of something even bigger.

Join us on this journey

As we count down the days to Barcelona 2025, we invite you to be part of this exciting moment with us. Follow us on LinkedIn for live updates and insights from our first global meetup!

Here’s to Barcelona 2025. Here’s to the future. And here’s to all the amazing moments still ahead!

Uncover the DORA Support from Quertum Service

Understanding DORA 

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union regulation designed to strengthen the digital resilience of the financial sector. It applies to banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and other financial organizations, requiring them to manage ICT risks, secure their digital operations, and ensure business continuity in the face of cyber threats and IT failures.

DORA is primarily focused on the Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools, systems, and third-party services used by the financial sector. Organizations must assess and mitigate ICT risks across their entire operations, including external technology providers.

With DORA becoming fully applicable on January 17, 2025, financial institutions must ensure they comply with a range of risk management, incident reporting, and resilience testing requirements.

Quertum Service in DORA Context

While Quertum is not directly subject to DORA. In the same time, we recognize the importance of this regulation for our customers, including those who are directly impacted and those serving DORA-regulated clients.

At Quertum, we understand that financial institutions must ensure compliance with DORA while maintaining operational efficiency and security.

We provide peace of mind and confidence for our customers by ensuring that we take a range of actions associated with the 5 pillars of DORA regulations:


IT Risk Management. Institutions must establish a comprehensive IT risk management frameworks. As part of our certification to ISO 27001:2022, we carefully review our risks and take all necessary actions to mitigate or remove them.

IT Incident Reporting. Companies must promptly report any significant ICT-related incidents to their respective regulators. We’ve got this covered too via the development of a range of Incident Management documents. Our approach to these requirements supports a coordinated response mechanism for incidents.

Digital Operational Resilience Testing. Quertum systems are regularly tested (business continuity, disaster recovery testing supported by regular penetration and vulnerability tests)to future-proof our digital operational resilience abilities against IT disruptions.

IT Third-Party Risk Management and Oversight. This is a real differentiating factor for us. We do not outsource any development activities or engage any third party IT providers.

Information and intelligence sharing. Sharing information about cyber threats with different financial entities helps improve overall robustness within the industry. We are committed to sharing security awareness threads & trends with all interested parties. We also keep our team up to date with regular awareness training and source best practice advice from a range of trustworthy sources.
