Founded in South Africa
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Europe, Africa and North America
From a South African beginning to an international group with reach across three continents.
Messe Rand began in 2009 as Randberg Visach in South Africa, created around a belief that stronger organizations are built through knowledge, capability and meaningful international connection.
As the organization expanded, its work evolved beyond a single discipline into a coordinated group spanning executive education, professional development in the Maritime and Energy sector, publishing and strategic communications, and international convening.

One connected international group
From Rotterdam—the gateway to Europe—Messe Rand coordinates four specialist businesses serving institutions across Africa, Europe and North America.
Built to strengthen institutions and unlock opportunity.
We believe sustainable progress is created when strategy, knowledge, people and partnerships move together around a clearly defined objective.
Why we exist
To strengthen the institutions, leaders and partnerships that create lasting economic and social progress.
What we are building toward
To be a trusted international partner at the forefront of institutional innovation, capability development and sustainable growth.
How we move forward
To combine global expertise with local understanding, delivering practical solutions that improve performance, expand knowledge and connect organizations with opportunity.
Complex challenges rarely fit inside one discipline.
Our operating model brings the right capabilities together around the client’s objective, creating solutions that are informed, coordinated and practical.
Understand the context
We begin with the organization’s environment, priorities, stakeholders and desired outcomes—not a predetermined template.
Assemble the right expertise
Specialists, academics, industry professionals and institutional partners are brought together around the specific challenge.
Connect capabilities
Advisory, learning, communications and convening can operate independently or as one coordinated program.
Build lasting capability
Our goal is not only to deliver an intervention, but to leave stronger people, systems, relationships and institutional knowledge behind.
Specialist businesses. Shared standards. One group.
Each business has a distinct mandate while benefiting from the relationships, international perspective and coordinated capabilities of the wider group.
