Our story started by our own experience
In 2019, Frederik Keysers and Roy Jeunen started working on an idea to simplify identity and access flows. With their backgrounds in aviation, logistics and port facilities, they faced the same problems every time they visited an industrial site. They had to be there 15 to 45 minutes in advance to have their ID’s checked/scanned, follow safety briefings and complete security trainings. On top of that, they were given insecure RFID badges for access control. In August 2020, they founded Nine Engineering with the mission to simplify identity and access flows, boost site security and increase facility safety. To further develop their solution, Nine Engineering received initial funding by the European Space Agency (ESA) and VLAIO.
