What Weconnect does

Weconnect is a privately-held Dutch connectivity provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Alkmaar, Netherlands. The company delivers carrier-neutral IoT and M2M SIM connectivity, enterprise eSIM solutions, and centralized connectivity management platforms for multinational businesses operating across 195+ countries and 700+ cellular networks. Its customer base spans maritime, broadcasting and media, logistics, retail, automotive, banking, sports, and aviation sectors, with marquee reference clients including RTL Nederland, EMG, DHL, ALDI, Hertz, Santander, United Airlines, Formula 1, Fred Olsen, DFDS, ACTA MARINE, and Fugro.

The company's core technology stack centers on a cloud-based Connectivity Management Platform (CMP) and a Remote SIM Provisioning Platform supporting both SGP.22 and SGP.02 eSIM standards. Its product portfolio includes industrial IoT SIMs in physical and embedded MFF2/eUICC form factors, Business eSIM for mobile workforces with QR-code activation, Business Travel eSIM with fixed-rate global pricing, Backup SIM with 4G/5G failover, Business Unlimited SIM with shared data pools, and vertical-specific Maritime Internet and Broadcasting & Media solutions. Technical differentiators include non-steered automatic carrier selection to the strongest available signal, bootstrap eSIM/LPA code activation for headless devices, an enterprise security stack (Private APN, IPsec VPN, IMEI locking, Fixed IP, URL filtering), and RESTful API integration with MDM platforms (Jamf, Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE) and accounting platforms (Xero, WeFact).

Weconnect operates a direct enterprise sales-led go-to-market with no disclosed channel partners or resellers, supported by a multi-language website (English, Dutch, German, Spanish) and a self-service cloud portal. All revenue streams are subscription-based and recurring, with pricing contact-negotiated rather than publicly disclosed. The company claims 40-60% lower total cost of ownership versus single-carrier IoT providers and up to 70% cost reduction versus traditional roaming, with example pricing of €3-6 per GB versus €2,500/GB charged by traditional operators in high-cost destinations. Operational scale is reported at 100,000+ devices connected daily with 99.9%+ availability, while the company is run by a small founder-led team of 1-10 employees (founders Bas de Lange and Tim van Roemburg) with no disclosed external funding.
