Nicolas Lembeck, Founder
Nicolas has spent more than a decade of his professional career at the intersection of politics and technology — where most people see a gap, he sees a bridge worth building.
His path has led him through three different parliaments — regional, federal, and European. After his time in parliament, he advised ministries, consultancies, corporations, and startups, developing deep expertise on issues of human rights, sustainability, and digital policy. He has run campaigns for civil society organizations and parliamentary candidates across party lines, and has led agencies through the kind of work that turns sharp ideas into measurable political impact.
Above all, politics is a question of translation. Translating complex policy into clear storylines. Translating stakeholder interests into shared ground. Translating the promise of AI into systems that rest on ethical foundations, build the capabilities of tomorrow's workforce, and genuinely serve organisational decision-making.
He founded inQ to do exactly that and to stay ahead of the changes reshaping our societies. Around him, he has built an interdisciplinary network of political experts, data analysts, and AI developers united by a single belief: that civil society, business, and political institutions perform better when they are connected. The mission is to equip the people shaping public life with the strategy, the storytelling, and the AI fluency to lead with clarity in an era that rewards neither hesitation nor noise.
inQ operates at the intersection of technology, political affairs, and a fast-growing network of political professionals.
We are building a curated network of experts at the intersection of technology and politics — a distinguished circle of political peers across Europe and beyond.
As part of the network, you gain access to the inQ tech innovations developed across our partnerships, a community of value-driven peers, and exclusive invitations to inQ and its partner events, from working sessions to policy forums.
As populism and polarisation rise, it is time for a new generation of change-makers to build, connect, and act beyond borders. If you are an expert, want to become one, at the intersection of technology and politics, we would love to hear from you.
