our story

While the group’s legacy dates back a hundred years, Hili Ventures was created in 2013 as a group of companies primarily focused on food service, retail and property management.

Since then, Hili Ventures has grown organically and by acquisition. Our culture and our business ethic are rooted in our values and the group is now engaged in food service, retail, real estate, hospitality, shipping, engineering, and technology, and is a proud partner of Apple, Konecranes, McDonald’s Microsoft, NCR, Six Senses, and many other global brands.

Hili Ventures oversees operations in Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Romania. Through its 12,000 strong team, Hili Ventures partners with world-leading brands investing in the operation, people and communities and working to safeguard brand integrity, every step of the way.

A word from our chairman

As we grow and diversify, each pillar of the business requires its own focus, dedication and strategic thinking. We continue to evolve into a more agile, decentralised operation, with a strong focus on talent management, managing our material impacts in terms of ESG and delivering excellence above all else.

At Hili Ventures, the value we bring lies in our rich legacy and culture, coupled with strategic direction and expertise, all aligned with our core values and strong principles of corporate governance.
