About us

In 2002 we started Rebel because we wanted to make the world a little bit better. Today, around 200 Rebels are working from our main offices in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Düsseldorf, Johannesburg, Nairobi and Washington DC on projects in socially relevant sectors including real estate, infrastructure, mobility and transport, culture, healthcare, security and energy.

We believe in small-scale business and entrepreneurship. For this reason, Rebel is organised as a galaxy of small ventures in which we are both employees and shareholders. Ventures are involved not only in advising but also in investing, for example through projects in which we are co-providers of capital, or through the setup of new business initiatives or investment funds.

RebelGroup International is the primary platform for Rebel’s international activities, working in close cooperation with our fellow Rebels on four continents. We assist governments, development banks, private infrastructure developers and construction companies with the development, financing and implementation of infrastructure, public service and public-private partnership projects at a global scale. We provide these services by supporting infrastructure tender processes, project finance deals, project development and public policy strategies across the full spectrum of sectors in which Rebel operates. We strive to remain at the forefront of innovation in those sectors, working on the themes of the future (smart cities, hyperloop, autonomous shuttles, circular economy, etc.). We love what we do and particularly enjoy putting our hard financial and economic skills at the service of impactful projects in developed and emerging markets.
