Functioning primarily as a digital media platform, the company facilitates connections between advertisers and a global audience through the application of its proprietary technological solutions.[2][3]

History

Aytekin and Akpinar met at the Turkish student association at TU Delft. In 2004, they founded Triodor Software and Orange Games later the same year before renaming it Azerion.[5]

Founded in late 2013, Azerion commenced operations in 2014 with an initial team of 45 employees. Over time, the company transitioned from its origins in social and casual games to establish itself in Europe's digital advertising and entertainment industry.

In 2016, Azerion broadened its scope by entering the distribution of digital goods via e-commerce with the acquisition of Voidu.[6][7]

Azerion became a publicly traded company listed on Euronext Amsterdam in February 2022 following a merger with EFIC1, an already publicly traded special-purpose acquisition company.[8]
