About us

Technology and design with a social purpose, at the service of municipalities

NIU is a company that creates solutions to help local councils support their communities throughout life: from preventing gender-based violence to welcoming newborns and supporting older people. We combine our own technology and design to respond, with tailored solutions, to each of these challenges.

NIU·CLIC is the best example. It is a safety and support system for risk situations, unique on the market, that lets a person send an alert with their location — either to their own trusted network or straight to the Purple Point professionals. We program the alert system, develop the platform from which the council can monitor and manage alerts and obtain reports, and design the visual identity tailored to each municipality. Every project is unique and built from scratch to meet the real needs of the people who will use it.

We support every project from start to finish, from the very first conversations to long after it goes live. We work one to one: we listen, we understand the need and we develop a tailored solution. We do it from Altafulla, with care for detail and the conviction that technology makes sense when it serves people and the territory.

NIU·CLIC is an NFC-based safety system that sends an SOS with real-time location in under 8 seconds, with no app and no sign-up. Built by NIU, integrated into everyday objects —hair ties, wristbands, keyrings and badges— and available in two modes: an alert to each person's own trusted contacts, or an alert straight to the Violet Point service.

Equality policies

Materials and services for Purple Points (Punts Lila)

Comprehensive solutions for managing equality campaigns. Materials designed with a feminist approach and customisable for each municipality. And as our own technology, NIU·CLIC, our NFC-based feminist safety system.

Feminist framework and institutional commitment

From a feminist perspective, the focus must always be on the perpetrator, never on the victim. NIU's materials don't replace public policies or educational initiatives — they complement them as part of broader municipal strategies for prevention and awareness, aligned with the Spanish State Pact and local equality plans.

Early childhood

"The town welcomes you!"

A special pack, personalised and with a distinctive identity, to welcome newborns and their families. Each product captures the essence of the municipality and reinforces a sense of belonging from day one.

Each municipality has its own reality and specific needs, which is why the pack can be fully adapted to every situation. Councils choose the items that best fit their needs and budget — there's no minimum number of products required.

Every item is responsibly designed, illustrated and made, using ecological and locally sourced materials, reflecting the DNA of each territory.
