Turning polluted sites into high-quality, sustainable housing
While demand for sustainable and high quality residential areas keeps rising, here are thousands of unused polluted sites in Belgium. To help solve this imbalance, Revive acquires, regenerates and builds sustainable real estate on former industrial brownfield sites. The Revive Brownfield Fund II (RBF II) was founded in 2012 to invest in real estate projects led by Revive.
Sustainability is implemented in every segment of the project, from its building materials to appliances and energy used. Once the buildings are inhabited, Revive continues to create awareness on how residents can reduce their personal footprint. Revive’s mission is to allow for people with different social and demographic backgrounds to inhabit newly-built houses and interact with one another.
Revive was the first company in Belgium to be awarded the B-Corp accreditation, which testifies to its sustainable and transparent way of working.
In 2013, KOIS invested in RBF II. The company’s strong market knowledge, combined with an attractive network, provides RBF II with all it needs to achieve its objectives, deliver above market-level financial returns to investors and generate a powerful social and environmental impact.

miDiagnostics: creating the future of diagnostic care
Today, ensuring a fast diagnosis of the high number of patients to avoid transmission is critical. Unfortunately, diagnoses are highly time-consuming and hard to get for people in more remote areas. In fact, most accurate diagnostics require drawing blood, sample preparation & lab work. This can result in a long time between testing & treatment. It also means patients cannot be followed-up at home and that carrying out fast & accurate testing in the field is very difficult.
