Who we are
The Elemental Foundation is a Dutch nonprofit that builds software and digital infrastructure that keeps working when things go wrong. We build for Safety Regions and other organisations that society relies on in a crisis.
What we do
ZeroComms
Keeps plans, maps, procedures and contacts available on site when the internet or cloud drops out.
Infolite
A fast, text-only copy of official news and announcements that still loads on a poor crisis connection.
Elemental Hosting
Your website or application on European servers, kept up to date, backed up and monitored by us.
Engineering services
We design, build and run software and servers for organisations that need them to keep working, such as crisis planning for Veiligheidsregio Zeeland.
Why a foundation?
We believe critical services are better run without a profit motive. Food, water, shelter, health, education and digital infrastructure do not need year-on-year growth to work well. Chasing it tends to make them worse over time.
We specialise in software, cybersecurity and infrastructure, which is where our background lies. We do pay ourselves a salary, but a modest, capped one: our statutes cap pay at the Dutch public-sector norm and forbid paying out profit.
