Yannex
Our Story

We are not here to
follow the market.

Yannex is a diversified, African-founded group headquartered in the UAE — connecting real estate, technical services, trading and technology under one ambition: to build businesses that shape their industries rather than simply compete in them.

A message from the CEO
Yanick Mua, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Yannex Group

Building Today. Creating What Comes Next.

At YANNEX Group, we believe that great companies are built on a simple principle: create value, solve real problems, and never stop moving forward.

YANNEX was founded with a clear ambition — to build a diversified, forward-thinking group that connects real estate, technical services, trading, technology, and creative industries under one powerful vision.

We are not interested in simply following the market. We want to help shape it.

Every project we undertake is driven by the same commitment: delivering quality, building lasting relationships, and creating solutions that make a measurable difference to our clients, partners, and communities.

Our strength comes from our people. We believe in talent, accountability, innovation, and the courage to pursue opportunities others may overlook. From supporting construction projects with the right technical manpower to developing technology that transforms how businesses operate, we approach every challenge with an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to excellence.

As we grow, our ambition remains bigger than business.

We want to build a globally respected African-founded group, headquartered in the UAE and connected to opportunities across international markets. A group capable of creating businesses, technologies, partnerships, and opportunities that stand the test of time.

The journey ahead is ambitious. There will be challenges, but we see challenges as opportunities to innovate, improve, and build stronger.

YANNEX is more than a group of companies. It is a platform for ideas, people, partnerships, and possibilities.

To our clients and partners, thank you for trusting us.

To our team, thank you for believing in the vision.

And to everyone who shares our ambition to build something meaningful — we invite you to build the future with us.

The future will not build itself. We are building it.

Principles

What we hold to.

01

Own the whole chain

The group sources, builds, sells and maintains. Each company covers a gap the others would otherwise depend on an outsider for — which is why quality holds at the seams.

02

Build where we are from

Dubai gave the group its standards. Cameroon is where those standards are being put to work. Both markets are home, and neither is a side project.

03

Show the numbers

Investors get the actual yield, the actual service charge and the actual void period. Optimistic arithmetic is a short-term strategy and we are not running one.

04

Build the tools we need

When the software to run the business properly did not exist, we wrote it. That instinct became an operating company in its own right.

Journey

Five years, five companies.

2021

Yanex Properties opens in Dubai

The group starts as a real estate brokerage with a single mandate: advise honestly and hold the client relationship past the transaction.

2022

General Trading established

A free-zone trading licence is added to bring procurement in-house and open the UAE–Central Africa corridor.

2023

Yannex Prime begins contracting

Fit-out, MEP and maintenance capability is built so the group can deliver and service the assets it advises on.

2024

Technologies and Development launch

Internal software becomes a licensed product, and the group commits capital to ground-up development in Cameroon.

2026

Operating as one group

Five companies, two continents, a single delivery chain from land acquisition through to the maintenance contract.
