QbD Group awarded Gold Label as Best Managed Company 2025

We’re proud to share that QbD Group has once again been recognized as one of Belgium’s Best Managed Companies, earning the Gold Label for the second consecutive year. This marks the sixth year in a row we’ve received this recognition – a strong confirmation of our consistent performance and long-term vision.

The Best Managed Companies programme, organized by Deloitte Private in collaboration with Econopolis and KU Leuven, evaluates Belgian privately-owned companies on strategic clarity, operational excellence, talent management, and financial results. Gold status is reserved for organizations that consistently stand out across all of these pillars over multiple years.

At QbD Group, we support life sciences companies from idea to patient — offering expertise in quality assurance, regulatory affairs, clinical solutions, lab services, software & services, qualification & validation, and vigilance. We work with clients in biotech, small molecules, medical devices, digital health, and IVD, helping them bring safe and effective healthcare products to market.

Throughout the programme, participating companies are coached by Deloitte experts to reflect on their strategy, operations, and growth potential. That outside-in perspective challenged us once again to keep improving — and we welcomed it.

“Each year, Best Managed Companies highlights Belgian organizations that combine stability with agility,” says Bruno Peelaers, Programme Leader and Partner at Deloitte Private. “QbD Group continues to demonstrate that combination, showing resilience, innovation, and commitment to sustainable growth.”

This recognition confirms what we believe in every day: that a clear vision, strong values, and a dedicated team can make all the difference — for our clients, our people, and the broader life sciences ecosystem!
