Mindsetor

About us

Built in Heerlen.

Mindsetor works from the Brightlands Smart Services Campus in Heerlen. What began as a Hult Prize entry now runs as an eight-week programme on the shop floor.

Why Mindsetor exists

Help with work stress only starts once someone has dropped out.

We think that is too late. Prevention only works when taking part is easy and feels safe. Everything in this programme is built on that.
