And we’re just getting started ⚡
Five years ago, three specialists recognised what the world could no longer ignore: the urgent need to speed up the energy transition. In August 2020, Bram van Santen, Ralph Brands, and Fabian Leeman pooled their expertise to establish Connex with a clear mission: Energizing the Future.
That mission continues to drive everything we do.
Today, Connex has an international team of professionals representing over fifteen nationalities. We supply sustainable feedstocks for renewable fuel production and deliver measurable impact across transportation, marine, and aviation sectors. From our base in Rotterdam, we collaborate with global partners who share our ambition to reduce carbon emissions and deliver green value at every stage of the supply chain.
We take our mission seriously — but we also recognise how important it is to celebrate our shared achievements.
Celebrating 5 Years in Style
On 28 August 2025, we officially marked five years, and of course, we didn’t let that milestone pass quietly. Last Friday, September 5th, our team, their partners, and close collaborators gathered at Pomstation Amsterdam for an unforgettable evening. In true Great Gatsby style, we stepped into a world of sparkle, jazz, and celebration. It was a night filled with elegant outfits, delicious food, inspiring speeches, great music, and a packed dance floor that reflected the energy we bring to our mission every day.
But this wasn’t just a party, it was a tribute to the people who bring Connex to life. Without the dedication, creativity, and drive of our team and partners, we wouldn’t be here.
And yet, this doesn’t feel like a finish line. It feels like the beginning. The challenges of the energy transition are substantial, but the opportunities are even greater. And we’re ready to seize them, full of energy and determination.
To everyone who has been part of this journey: thank you for your trust, commitment, and belief in our mission.
Energizing the future – today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.
