Today is International Volunteer Day, so it feels like the perfect moment to shine a light on our QbD Group Foundation, the people behind it, and the amazing initiatives they support. 💙

Last Sunday, Laurence, An, Julie, Carmen, Famke, Lauranne, Isabelle, and Carolina spent their day volunteering at 'DAKANT help for the homeless' in Antwerp, helping distribute food and hygiene products to people who need them most. A simple act with a big impact and a beautiful example of giving back, lifting others up, and improving quality of life. 🤝

It’s also a perfect reflection of our core values: joy, partnership, extra mile, and getting things done.

We’re proud to support so many meaningful causes through the QbD Group Foundation. Curious about what else we’re up to? Find out more 🔗 https://hubs.li/Q03WQSf00

The 2025 batch of QbD Group Limoncello has arrived! Freshly bottled, beautifully boxed, and ready to be enjoyed. 😍

What started as a small experiment 13 years ago has become one of our favourite traditions: turning lemons into laughter, memories, and a bottle full of QbD Group spirit.

A special thank you to VZW De Brug for making these beautiful boxes that showcase our limoncello year after year. 🙏

Here’s to tradition, teamwork, and a taste that gets better every year!

Cin cin to QbD magic! 🍋✨

Last week, together with KU Leuven, we hosted our annual Research Chair update event.

This initiative remains close to us as a company. Since Pieter Van Vlierberghe, a dear friend of Frederik De Smet and our CEO Bart Van Acker, was diagnosed in 2020, the QbD Group Foundation has been supporting the glioblastoma research chair led by Frederik. Pieter sadly passed away at the end of 2022, and we continue to honor his memory by contributing to this important research. 🤍

The evening began with an exclusive look inside the research lab, followed by a walking dinner and presentations from Laurence Carlier, Prof. Johan Van Lint, Prof. Frederik De Smet, and Dr. Carmen Bravo.

Thank you to KU Leuven and to all speakers for the collaboration and commitment to advancing glioblastoma research. 🙏

This week, we took a moment to celebrate a truly incredible milestone: Hannah's 10-year work anniversary with us! 🎉

What's really special is that Hannah was actually the second-ever HR colleague at QbD Group. That means she's been a foundational part of the QbD story, seeing us through thick and thin, and helping to build the amazing team we have today.

There were heartfelt speeches and a few happy tears as we looked back on her journey. Here’s to you, Hannah, and to many more amazing years! ✨

We went plogging again! That’s walking while picking up litter around our office, and we managed to fill five whole trash bags! 👏

Of course, our office dogs Lola and Vosje were also part of the fun. 🐾

A small effort with a big impact, and one of the many ways our QbD Foundation gives back to the planet. Because protecting the environment is just as important to us as supporting science, health, and our community. ♻️

Back by popular demand after last year’s success, our “Breakfast with the CEO” series kicked off at our office in Antwerp yesterday! ☕🥐

What is it, exactly, you might ask? Over the next few weeks, our CEO, Bart, will visit different offices to connect with QbD’ers and answer their burning questions over breakfast. It’s a fun way to catch up, brainstorm, and chat about where QbD Group is headed.

Next stops: the Netherlands, the UK, Poland, and Spain. 🌍

Back to school? Not quite, but it sure feels like it!
Yesterday, on September 1st, our Young Potentials Program kicked off with a brand-new class of eager minds ready to launch their careers. 🚀

Just like the first day of school, excitement was in the air as our dove into the week ahead, full of training, learning, and inspiration, preparing them to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.

Did you know our program is international? We’re happy to welcome Spanish colleagues to the adventure as well. 🌍

And the story doesn’t stop here… a second group of Young Potentials will join us in October. We can’t wait to see the energy and fresh ideas they’ll bring!
