ABOUT THE COMPANY

De Lokale

Stichting de Lokale is a Netherlands-based non-profit foundation that designs, develops, and operates civic-tech platforms and analytical tools supporting civil society, independent media, and institutional partners in complex environments.

We work at the intersection of technology, civic participation, and information resilience, delivering scalable digital infrastructure that can be piloted, adapted, and deployed across countries and sectors.

Our work integrates product development, applied research, and capacity building, enabling solutions that serve a wide range of partners — from grassroots civil society initiatives to international and intergovernmental organisations.

Through long-term collaboration with donors, research organisations, and public institutions, Stichting de Lokale contributes to democratic resilience, civic participation, and access to trusted digital tools in high-risk and rapidly changing environments.
