After 12 years as an independent platform, leading data and emerging tech site joins AI’first media company Liplyn IG
Amsterdam / Dubai, 27 November 2025: Liplyn Information Group (Liplyn IG) has acquired Datafloq.com, the international platform that for more than twelve years has focused deeply on data, AI and emerging technologies. With this acquisition, Liplyn IG strengthens its position as an AI’driven media platform for marketeers, PR and media agencies.
Liplyn IG helps companies get found in AI search tools such as ChatGPT and operates more than 70 websites with a business focus on careers, technology and general news.

Datafloq, founded by tech futurist and keynote speaker Dr. Mark van Rijmenam, has grown in recent years into a globally respected platform for emerging technologies. It positions itself as a ‘one’stop source’ for big data, AI, blockchain and other emerging technologies, with a strong focus on strategic and C’level insights.
With a community of dozens of regular and guest contributors, a newsletter with around +10,000 subscribers and tens of thousands of monthly tech enthusiasts on the website and social channels, Datafloq has been bringing the conversation about data and technology to an international audience for many years.
Strategic fit: being found in an AI’first world
