Rebels work on the issues that affect all our futures. From the world of sustainability, transportation and urban development to healthcare and the social sector. Rebels pioneered the early PPP markets of continental Europe. Today we work across a broad range of geographies and sectors. We make a positive impact, not only as consultants but also as investors. After all, anyone who believes in their own advice should be prepared to invest in it. We are committed to bringing about change, initiating and realizing our own projects. We partner up to develop public-private partnerships (PPPs), innovative financing arrangements, project delivery strategies, as well as procurement and transaction advisory processes. In addition we offer strategic advice, business analysis, partnership consulting, financial advice and the management of investments. We also provide in-company training in the field of financial-economic issues. Growth is not our goal. But we certainly have grown. We go where we are most needed, where we can achieve the most positive impact. We invite you to join in, to become part of the change. Let’s think beyond existing structures. As governments, as companies and as individuals.
