Some of the world's biggest infrastructure challenges don't stop at borders, and neither do the solutions. From securing water supplies in Kenya and Saudi Arabia to enabling hydrogen exports from North Africa and developing heat and CO₂ networks across Europe, Rebel has contributed to more than 16 major pipeline projects across four continents. These projects do more than transport resources. They support the energy transition, strengthen water security, and help build resilient infrastructure for the future. The true impact of great infrastructure isn't measured in kilometres of pipeline, but in the people, industries, and communities it connects.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁? Business travel is often seen as a way to get from A to B as quickly as possible. But what if we saw it differently? Choosing the bus isn’t just about reducing emissions. It’s about experiencing the transport systems we work on, seeing things from the passenger's perspective, and making better decisions as a result. Traveling like everyday passengers reveals what data alone can’t: how connections work, accessibility, reliability, comfort, and the realities of public transport. Those insights help us become better advisors and develop more effective mobility systems. A thoughtful reflection by Fayçal Rajab on why work travel can be about much more than reaching the meeting: https://lnkd.in/eCwj6UZg

Our Rebels Yann Pleindoux and Maarten van der Vlies have just delivered a three-day training on project finance for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) as part of the Shiraka programme. The programme is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken) and implemented by the Port of Rotterdam.   Rebel was invited to design and deliver a training focused on project finance in the context of Egypt's green industrialisation ambitions. Over three days, we explored the financing of projects such as green hydrogen, green fuels and renewable electricity, as well as the enabling infrastructure needed to make these developments possible, including water desalination, port infrastructure and other critical assets in economic zones.   It was a pleasure to exchange knowledge and discuss the opportunities and challenges of financing the next generation of sustainable industrial and port developments. We were also pleased to be joined by Erik van der Heijden from Port of Rotterdam, whose contributions added valuable practical insights to the discussions.   Many thanks to the participants from the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) for their active engagement, and to our partners in the Shiraka programme for making this collaboration possible. We look forward to continuing to support the transition towards a more sustainable industrial future.

We're excited to welcome Salma Afida to the Rebel team. 🙌 Salma joins our infrastructure and energy transition work across Southeast Asia. Over the past 3.5 years she has worked in advisory across the project lifecycle. From feasibility and financial structuring. To supporting governments, state-owned enterprises, and development banks across the region.   Trained first as a civil engineer, Salma has built her career on a single question: not only how infrastructure gets built, but how it gets financed, structured, and delivered. That engineer's instinct, paired with a finance foundation, is what she brings to the commercial side of the work, and what drew her to Rebel. She is also pursuing a Master's in Sustainable and Green Finance at NUS Business School.   Salma brings curiosity, an engineer's eye, and a real drive to learn. We're glad to have her building alongside Phway P and Jeroen Kok as Rebel grows its presence in Asia Pacific.   Welcome, Salma. Looking forward to what we'll build together!

𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹, 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹. On 11 June, we welcomed former and current Rebels aboard Vessel 11 in Rotterdam for the very first Rebel alumni event. The location couldn't have been more fitting: moored in the Wijnhaven, just a stone's throw from the Rebel office, where many Rebels began their journey. It was an afternoon and evening filled with shared memories, inspiring conversations and new connections. We kicked off with a welcome by Mira Groot, followed by a conversation between Bart Budding, Rebel veteran Hidde Siemonsma and the audience. Inspired by Hidde's essay, the discussion centred on three questions: What do you take with you from Rebel? How do perspectives change outside Rebel? And what can Rebel learn from those experiences? The result was an open and engaging dialogue that brought together insights from both past and present. The conversations continued over drinks, where there was plenty of time to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people and exchange ideas. Thanks to our creative Rebel Matchmakers, old connections were renewed while new collaborations and friendships began to take shape. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this first edition such a success. This event was intentionally organised as a small-scale pilot. We know there are many more former Rebels out there, and we look forward to welcoming even more alumni to future editions. Are you a former Rebel and would you like to join the Rebel alumni group on LinkedIn? Leave a comment below and we'll get in touch. Here's to the next edition! #OnceARebelAlwaysARebel #Rebel #Alumni #Network #Connection

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀’ 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 A major milestone for the Dutch energy transition: financial close has been achieved for Zonnepark Westermeerdijk, a 148 MWp solar project in the Noordoostpolder and one of the largest solar developments in the Netherlands. We are proud to have supported Novar and Westermeerweg Zon Holding as a financial advisor. After several years of involvement in the project, it was a pleasure to lead the financing process and help bring this transaction to a successful close in June 2026.   For Rebel, this transaction is another important step in the continued development of the Noordoostpolder as a leading renewable energy hub. Following our work there on the initial financing and recent refinancing of NOP Agrowind and the addition of a utility-scale BESS in 2025, it is exciting to see yet another project move to realization. Together, the wind, solar, and battery assets demonstrate how location and infrastructure can be utilized efficiently while accelerating the energy transition.   Congratulations to Novar, Westermeerweg Zon Holding, ING and all other parties involved on this important milestone. Thank you for the excellent collaboration throughout the process. The Rebel deal team consisted of Eelco Meesen, Luuk Oudshoorn and Jim Carstens.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂̈𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳 The trip began in true Düsseldorf style, with an evening at a traditional Brauhaus. Over Altbier and a great meal, we exchanged ideas and laid the groundwork for more in-depth discussions the following day. A key highlight of the visit was a joint workshop, during which our German Rebels (Rebel Deutschland) shared their core expertise, and we explored how we can further strengthen collaboration at the intersection of mobility and climate adaptation. Once again, it became clear how closely these topics are connected and how much potential lies in working together. Most importantly, the discussions resulted not only in valuable new insights but also in concrete action points for the months ahead. We’re looking forward to reconnecting in September and continuing to build on this momentum. Altbier turned into action items. We'd love more of that.
