Under the leadership of Thomas Vandenbergh, BESIX Group is proud to introduce BESIX Technology, a new business venture that complements its existing core divisions of Contracting, Real Estate Development, and Concessions & Assets. The establishment of BESIX Technology aligns with the company's mission to adapt and explore new avenues in response to the challenges and opportunities presented by today's rapidly changing world.
To drive this diversification strategy, BESIX Group will structurally strengthen its support to the seven PropTech and ConTech start-ups in which the group acquired equity stakes over the last years. These start-ups – Neanex, Litobox, BuildUp, Conneqtr, Circl, SquareSense, and aug·e – are active in asset management, off site construction, digitisation, energy efficiency, circularity and sustainability. With a clear vision and governance, BESIX will provide strategic and operational guidance to maximize the potential of these ventures and ensure they align with the overall strategic direction of the company.
In addition, BESIX Group has signed investment agreements with two Venture Capital (VC) funds specializing in PropTech and ConTech: Rise PropTech Fund, a Belgium-based hands-on VC fund active in the PropTech sector, and PT1 – PropTech1 Ventures (Berlin and London), a pan-European VC fund platform investing in transformative real estate technologies. These investments will allow BESIX to leverage the expertise and market knowledge of seasoned investors in these fields while gaining access to a wider range of start-ups and technologies.
BESIX Group is a leading multidisciplinary company operating in the construction, real estate, concessions, and assets sectors. With over 110 years of expertise, BESIX has established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects worldwide. The group is committed to innovation, sustainability, and creating value for its stakeholders while contributing to societal progress.
