Our latest events

The entire MindCapture team came together at a beautiful location to celebrate another successful year filled with growth, collaboration and impact.

We took the time to reflect, reconnect and define our strategy for the future. Most importantly, we wanted to thank our amazing consultants and staff, the people who are the true reason behind our success. 💚

With great food, shared laughter and meaningful conversations, the day was a perfect reminder of what drives us every day. We believe in the power of science and technology to make a positive change.

At MindCapture, we believe our people are our greatest asset, not just for delivering projects, but for shaping the future of our services.

Every two months, we bring our consultants together for Technical Expertise Domain (TED) workshops. These sessions tap into the knowledge and field experience of our teams to build new, client-focused services in CQV & Engineering, Quality & Compliance and Go-to-Market.

We’re excited to share that additional and future proof services are almost ready to launch, designed to help our clients navigate their challenges faster, smarter and with the confidence that we build from success stories and true sector expertise.

Another colourful day at MindCapture! 🔴🟡🟢🔵

This week, our team followed another Insights Discovery training session, and it was just as inspiring as the others! We went deeper into understanding different communication styles and how to better connect with each other.

The session was full of practical tips, fun examples and great conversations. It helped us reflect, learn and grow as a team.

Big thanks to Caroline from HIGHR for guiding us through the experience with her usual positive energy! And to everyone who joined in with an open mind and lots of enthusiasm.

Looking forward to applying these lessons in our work (and life)! 😊

Escape Room Time – Scientists vs. Zombies! 🧟‍♂️🧪

Last week, some of our consultants from the Ghent area teamed up for a thrilling escape room challenge. The theme? A Z-virus outbreak where brilliant scientists raced against time… and terrifying infected patients.

We split into two teams — smart scientists vs. scary zombies — and believe it or not… the zombies won!

Big thanks to all our colleagues who joined the fun. At MindCapture, we’re passionate about what we do, but we never forget to enjoy the journey together.

👉 P.S. Don’t worry — in our real consultancy projects, the scientists always win. 😉

Exploring Innovation in Healthcare & Medical Devices! 🧬

The MindCapture team recently had the opportunity to visit one of our clients in their advanced experience center — a place where technology and healthcare come together.

We followed the complete journey of a patient, from diagnosis and sample collection to treatment and monitoring. This offered valuable insights into the technologies and workflows that drive modern healthcare. From automation in microbiology labs to integrated diagnostic solutions and patient safety systems, each step was explained with scientific clarity.

A big thank you to the team that welcomed us and made this insightful and inspiring visit possible. One thing was clear: behind every innovation lies a strong commitment to improving outcomes and advancing global health.

Congratulations to our talented colleague, Rani Six, on successfully defending her PhD at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine – Ghent University

Her groundbreaking research on the role of microRNA in oocyte maturation is a major step forward in enhancing fertility for both animals and humans.

Now, as an MSAT Scientist at MindCapture, Rani is taking her passion and expertise to the next level—contributing to life-changing advancements in CART therapy in Ghent.

We are proud of her achievements and can’t wait to see how she continues to push boundaries and make an impact in the scientific world.

At MindCapture, we know that hands-on experience is key to truly understanding the technical expertise domains (TED’s*) and industry fields we support through precision consultancy. Yesterday, our team of Talent and Business Consultants had the opportunity to visit a university-based clinical biology lab focused on in vitro diagnostics (IVD).

This visit reinforced our commitment to finding the right talent for these critical roles, ensuring that our consultants understand both the science and the passion driving this work, from the lab’s perspective as well as from the medical device supplier’s perspective. 🧠💪.

We believe in building strong relationships within our team. Our team events provide an opportunity for us to connect, collaborate and have fun. This translates into a more cohesive and motivated team. This year, we had a beach event that combined relaxation, team-building and outdoor enjoyment. Whether it was rafting, surfing, or enjoying a barbecue, the event perfectly showcased our commitment to work-life balance and fostering team spirit.
