About us
Ydenpraet was founded in 1921. With a few modest investments in machinery, livestock, and personnel, the company began its journey as an active enterprise. Over the decades, these initial steps evolved into a diversified and forward-looking investment portfolio. From industrial equipment to real estate, from active participation in green energy to passive investments in financial markets — the Ydenpraet of a century ago is no longer the Ydenpraet of today.
Across three generations, diversification, innovation, and sustainability have remained the pillars of our investment philosophy. For over 100 years, Ydenpraet has been deeply rooted in Belgium, steadily building expertise and trust. Now, the family is ready to explore new horizons, taking its experience and strategies beyond Europe.
Rwanda marks the beginning of this new chapter. Through Ydenpraet Invest Ltd., we aim to bring our knowledge, strategy, and mission to the African continent. We will do so by doing what we have always done best: investing — in people, in opportunities, in potential. Only through such investments, growth can be truly sustainable, innovative, and diverse.
Sustainable Investments, Global Impact
Although horizons may shift and time may pass, the foundation of our philosophy remains unchanged. 'Create lasting value wherever we are present, ensuring that every stakeholder shares in the fruits of our investments.'
Ultimately, our goal is to foster an environment where innovative ideas can flourish, risks are managed thoughtfully, and both our team and partners can achieve meaningful, lasting impact. By leveraging the full strength of our collective expertise, we ensure that every investment contributes to a sustainable, successful, and forward-thinking future.
