Prepare for the future by setting up your company structure smartly! This way you can achieve tax benefits and be more flexible. Additionally, you can limit risks and seize opportunities. We will address the following:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of different business structures?
How to gain and maintain control over complex issues with conflicting interests? A great tool for this is the Innovation Control Framework developed by BDO.
What if an investor approaches you, will they participate in the entire company or just a part of it? How does that work? And what is their role?
What if you need extra help, do you hire employees or work with freelancers?
And last but not least: what are the tax consequences of an exit and what is being sold or not sold?
During the workshop, Bernard de Vree, Sr. Manager Tax Advisor at BDO, will take you through these issues. There will also be room to ask your own questions.

MindAffect, a Netherlands-based healthtech startup, has raised €1.1mn to bring its hearing diagnostics technology to market.
A spinout from Radboud University, MindAffect has developed a patented brain computer interface (BCI) technology, which enables diagnosis of hearing impairments using brain signals.
MindAffect aims to provide a more equitable testing solution that specifically caters for hard-to-test patients, such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Current methods, such as pure-tone or speech testing, depend on the constant responses of patients. But this can be challenging or ineffective for individuals who are unable to communicate due to age or disability — resulting in underdiagnosis.
Unaddressed hearing impairments can have serious consequences for both patients and the society, from mental health issues to high healthcare costs
“Hearing loss profoundly impacts every facet of life,” MindAffect’s CEO Jennifer Goodall said in a statement.
“For children, this means risks of poor educational and social development; for the elderly, increased isolation and a greater risk of early dementia; and the disabled, fewer opportunities for social inclusion.”
A new hearing diagnostics system
To tackle this issue, MindAffect has combined neuroscience, BCI technology, and AI to develop Aurora, a response-free hearing diagnostics system, which relies on brain stimuli and signals.
Aurora uses a headband that patients wear while listening to soft chirps and watching a silent video for less than 10 minutes. The system reads the brain signals and combines the information with air conduction and bone conduction audiometric threshold tests to make the diagnosis.
MindAffect expects to launch Aurora next year. The company is also working on vision diagnostics for children as well as a solution to monitor work-related stress in demanding visual or auditory environments.
Existing and new investors backed the funding round, including the NLC Health Impact Fund, Barco Limpo, and Wasteland Investments.
You are invited to our Free Webinar, EU-IVDR, two years on! Understanding and effectively using the IVDR transition for successful CE marking on May 28th, 2024.
On 26th May 2022, the IVDR came into force and has been active for two years. At the beginning of this year, the European Commission took further steps to ensure the availability of certain IVDs.
“What does the proposed extension to the IVDR transition mean for manufacturers? How can you adjust your strategy and utilize it to manage the transition time efficiently?”
In the past, I have said, “Don’t take your foot off the gas.” However, a further extension provides more time, so it’s now “Time to change gear.” During the presentation, we will pose the most important questions to ask yourself when revising your strategy and determining which gear to select.
This webinar aims to help you by sharing the following:
The current state of play
What is the extension to transitional arrangements and timelines?
How will this impact the conformity assessment process?
Revising your strategy
Opportunities and threats
How to benefit from the additional time?
The free webinar concludes with a Q&A session. You can submit questions via the registration form, mail them to marketing@qservegroup.com, or ask them during the webinar.
Expand your knowledge When: 28 May 2024 Time: 17:00 – 18:00 PM CEST | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST | 8:00 – 9:00 AM PST
mRNA VACCINS nieuwe ontwikkelingen en toepassingen na covid
Heb je je ooit afgevraagd waarom er zo’n grote interesse is in zo’n klein stukje genetische code? Hoewel het concept van mRNA-vaccins teruggaat tot 1995, was het pas tijdens de pandemie dat mRNA-therapieën ons dagelijks leven binnendrongen en een revolutie teweegbrachten in de ontwikkeling van vaccins. mRNA-vaccins leren je lichaam zich te verdedigen door het natuurlijke infectieproces na te bootsen, zonder de risico’s van een daadwerkelijke infectie. Van kankertherapie tot gepersonaliseerde geneeskunde, mRNA biedt potentieel voor brede toepassing en het vakgebied ontwikkelt zich snel …
Op maandag 27 mei praten Gorben Pijlman (WUR) en Johannes Textor (RU) je bij over de wonderlijke wereld van mRNA-technologie. Gorben Pijlman leidt de Arbovirus onderzoeksgroep. Deze groep combineert fundamentele virologie en toegepaste vaccinontwikkeling, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van levende muggen en pathogene virussen. Gorben zal je introduceren in het vakgebied van mRNA-vaccins en de nieuwe technologie van mRNAs die zichzelf vermenigvuldigen. De Computationele Immunologiegroep van Johannes Textor ontwerpt met behulp van machine learning kunstmatige immuunsystemen en onderzoekt hoe het immuunsysteem ‘abnormale’ informatie van ziekteverwekkers of tumoren waarneemt. Johannes zal uiteenzetten hoe op deze manier immuuntherapieën tegen kanker en nieuwe mRNA-vaccins worden ontwikkeld. Baanbrekende wetenschap, jazz van Trio In Dubio en de gebruikelijke gezelligheid – de laatste keer voor de zomer in het Science Café!

Leading and managing a team is rewarding, complex, sometimes frustrating and amazing! Most entrepreneurs know more about their industry or craft than about getting the most out of the team that they work with. Yet fulfilling that role as a leader well is crucial to the success of your business, to your happiness at work and that of your employees.

Whether you have issues with your team, or everything is fine in that area but you would like to keep it that way, this afternoon will be well spent as good staff are harder to find and keep..
In this workshop we will work on crafting our knowledge and skills on:
Your role as a leader
The difference between managing and leading
How to get and keep the right people for the right roles
How do you keep people on track and motivated in the short and long term
What to do when your staff don’t do things the way you want

Diagnostic accuracy is at the basis of determining the value of a diagnostic test. However, the value of a test depends on many factors such as the exact population and the workflow of the hospital in which it is used. These factors differ between contexts in which the test is used.
Look back this webinar “The value of diagnostics in Urology: Beyond diagnostic accuracy”. In this webinar, Medip Analytics will discuss the latest views on value assessments in diagnostics with a focus on cost-effectiveness analyses. You can find the recording on the website of Medip Analytics.
