History
History
CEOs Atilla Aytekin and Umut Akpinar met at the Turkish student association at Delft University of Technology. In 2004, they founded Triodor Software and Orange Games later the same year, later renaming it Azerion. Founded in late 2013, Azerion commenced operations in 2014 with 45 employees initially. 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 acquired gaming platform Voidu. Azerion became a publicly traded company listed on Euronext Amsterdam in February 2022, following a merger with EFIC1, a special-purpose acquisition company. In 2022, Azerion became the main sponsor of the Eredivisie Vrouwen, the top Dutch women's soccer league. In 2023, Azerion co-CEO Aytekin resigned after the Dutch Financial Market Authority launched an investigation, citing possible market manipulations. The investigation closed in March 2025, with the regulator finding no evidence of market manipulation or involvement by Azerion leaders.
