MINDUSTRIES

Digital experiences & software · EU & UK

We build digital experiences people remember, and software they trust.

Mindustries is a founder-led EU & UK studio. We design immersive digital experiences (interactive, gamified, story-driven) and build dependable custom software, including our own SaaS, for culture, brands, and institutions. Work that makes an impression, engineered to last.

One studio: experiences, platforms & SaaS.

Built for people who handle sensitive work

01 What we build

Made to be felt. Built to perform.

Immersive digital experiences and dependable software. Each one starts from what you’re really trying to achieve, and ends in something people remember.

02 Selected work

Things we’ve built.

A sample of digital experiences and platforms we’ve designed and built: interactive stories, research archives, and course networks, created alongside the people and institutions behind them.

Digital experience · Interactive storytelling

Il Barbiere Fontana

An immersive investigation that opens the world of the stage production Ciro, l’ultimo testimone. Visitors step into a case file of documents, recordings, and photographs, told through three conflicting points of view, and gather clues into a personal dossier as they rise through the ecclesiastical ranks toward the final testimony. Part interactive narrative, part game, it asks who gets to decide the truth when every witness remembers a different story.

03 How we work

Four steps. No surprises in the middle.

Our approach is intentionally compact. Every project follows the same path, from the first conversation to a stable product in production: clear boundaries and a tangible result at every phase.

  1. 01 · Understand

    Map the actual process

    Decisions, handoffs, constraints, and failure points. Conversations and artefacts before any contract.

  2. 02 · Define

    Scope a small first version

    A lean product or bespoke build with clear boundaries, discovered by trying the wrong version first.

  3. 03 · Deliver

    Launch, then build on it

    Practical increments validated with real users. Launch early. Keep the surface small.

  4. 04 · Stabilise

    Documentation and monitoring

    Traceability across the work, stability checks in production, and a full handover whenever you ask.

04 Studio & products

We also build and run our own products.

We design, build, and operate our own SaaS in production: the standards we apply to your project are the ones we hold ourselves to every day.

Our SaaS

ObligoBoard

One of our own subscription products: lightweight compliance tracking for European SMEs, with pre-built frameworks, evidence collection, and audit-ready reports.

05 About

Mind + Industries.

Focused thinking applied to real problems. The people who design and build your work are the ones you actually talk to.

We’re a founder-led studio based in Florence, Italy, working across the EU and UK with a focused client roster. Mindustries is run day-to-day by its two founders, both fully committed to it, so decisions stay direct and accountability sits with named people, not a faceless brand. AI is woven into how we work, used as an enabler under that same human accountability, never a replacement for it.

  • 01 EfficientMaximum impact, minimum waste. We choose the tool that delivers, never the one that just impresses.
  • 02 SpecificConcrete workflows, explicit assumptions, clear scope. General solutions are usually no one’s solution.
  • 03 DurableSoftware that ages well. Auditable, documented, and useful long after the initial launch.

The people behind Mindustries

  • Mirko Grewing, co-founder of Mindustries

    Mirko Grewing

    Co-founder · CEO

    Mirko leads the technical, compliance, and legal side of every engagement: architecture, build, and making sure what we deliver is auditable and on the right side of the rules. Before Mindustries, he spent two decades leading enterprise software delivery for tier-1 banks and financial institutions in regulated markets. The same rigour, now at studio scale.

  • Beatriz Cabur, co-founder of Mindustries

    Beatriz Cabur

    Co-founder · Chief Creative Officer

    Beatriz leads digital strategy, user experience, and creative direction: turning brand concepts into digital experiences that feel as considered to use as they are to look at. She co-founded Mindustries to bring her background in directing interactive media, live broadcasts, and custom digital platforms to the studio, where storytelling and technical precision meet.

06 FAQ

The questions we usually get first.

Do you build products, or do bespoke work?

Both, by design. We run our own SaaS products (like ObligoBoard) and take on a small number of bespoke builds for teams with specific constraints. Running products ourselves keeps our standards practical.

Where is our data stored and processed?

Within EU and UK jurisdictions by default. Where a service sits elsewhere (like our contact-form provider), it’s named in our privacy policy. We don’t share, sell, or broker your records to third parties, and we keep prompts, sources, and decisions traceable so an audit isn’t a fire drill.

How do you use AI without losing accountability?

AI sits inside reliable workflows as an enabler, never as a replacement for accountability or sound process. Every AI-assisted step is traceable: the inputs, the sources, and the decision a human can review.

Will we work directly with the founders?

Yes. You work directly with the people who design and build your project. We take on a focused number of clients at a time, so decisions stay direct and execution stays close to the problem.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Four compact steps: understand the real process, scope a small first version, launch and improve it with real users, then stabilise with documentation and monitoring, so your team can run it without us in the loop.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. We build so your team can run things without us, but you don’t have to. Some care is almost always needed to keep a site secure and current, so a baseline is part of what we put in place. Beyond that, support is bespoke: we design the right level of maintenance, updates, and oversight with you, around how hands-on you want to be. No fixed tiers.
