SCION Exchange

Anapaya and NL-IX Partner to bring SCION-Powered connectivity for European ISPs and enterprises

Zurich, Switzerland / The Hague, Netherlands – October 20, 2025 – Anapaya, the provider of SCION-based secure networking solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with NL-ix an innovator in the interconnectivity space and a market leader in creating next-generation enterprise solutions. The collaboration will bring SCION-powered connectivity across Europe, enabling Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprises to connect to the SCION Internet through NL-ix’s robust infrastructure.  

Under the partnership, Anapaya CORE and Anapaya GATE products will be deployed within NL-ix’s exchange environment to provide secure, sovereign, and resilient network access for European ISPs and their customers. By integrating SCION — the next-generation Internet architecture — with NL-ix’s extensive interconnection platform, the partnership aims to deliver a DDoS-resilient and route-controlled alternative to today’s vulnerable Internet routing model. 

“Europe is home to some of the most advanced and interconnected digital ecosystems in the world. Partnering with NL-ix allows us to extend the benefits of SCION — such as security, trust, and reliability — to a wider range of ISPs and enterprises,” said Martin Bosshardt, CEO of Anapaya. “Together, we’re enabling the Pan-European market to move beyond traditional IP routing and adopt a new model of sovereign and predictable Internet connectivity.” 

For NL-ix members and customers, this collaboration means enhanced protection against DDoS attacks, deterministic routing, and secure access to data centers — all while maintaining performance and sovereignty. SCION’s path-aware architecture enables end-to-end control over data paths, ensuring traffic remains within trusted ecosystem and network segments. 

“Our mission is to become the Leading European Business Exchange and SCION is a pivotal step in our company’s evolution to achieve this strategic objective” said Jan Hoogenboom, CEO and Founder of NL-ix.  

The partnership marks another important milestone in the expansion of the SCION ecosystem across Europe, following deployments in Switzerland and other key European markets. It supports the growing demand for sovereign, cyber-resilient networking solutions for critical infrastructures — from finance to energy to government — seek stronger safeguards against global cyber threats.
