Jelle Visser, business development & marketing manager at ValueBlue: “We are happy with Newion’s capital injection and will use it to meet the growing customer demand in the Benelux and North America. We currently experience little competition with our solution BlueDolphin, so we would like to make some progress in further developing and strengthening our market position in the Benelux and North America.”

The company was founded in 2011 and currently employs 40 people. BlueDolphin is used nationally and internationally by around 100 organisations, including a large number of Dutch municipalities, the Princess Máxima Center, the Rijksmuseum, Erasmus University, Heijmans, Boskalis and NIBC Bank.
