Leo van Woerden – MindMints

Being an absolute innovator in creating real “food for thoughts”, Leo van Woerden is creating mints that boost our mental capacity. For anyone who’s seen the movie Limitless, well, this is the real deal. Whether you’re having trouble getting to sleep, need a little extra focus for pumping out that report you’ve been playing the procrastination game to, or if you simply need the energy-equivalent of a week’s worth of coffee – MindMints are the way to go. Leo’s not just passionate about brains, his PhD in neurophysiology make him the absolute mastermind behind these little nuggets of wisdom.

Serge Bueters – Squla 

Squla just might be one of the most ambitious EdTech-based systems out there, as its mission is to motivate, engage and  empower children to learn more through gamifying their school content. As interactive methods prove to be highly valuable and effective for a child’s development, Squla is sure to become a large player in the highly digitalised future. Squla’s CEO, Serge Bueters, is here to show us exactly why Squla is on top of the Dutch EdTech business.
