QbD Group

Hello 2026! ✨

From the entire QbD Group team, we wish you a wonderful year filled with good health, fruitful collaborations, and plenty of joy along the way.

Happy New Year! 💙

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. 🙏

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. 🌍

Last month, we celebrated Kathy’s 10-year work anniversary at QbD Group! 🎉 As is our tradition, we took a moment to reflect on her incredible contributions over the past decade, followed by a delicious lunch and some well-deserved thank-you cupcakes. 🧁

Congratulations again, Kathy! 🥂
