We are Topicus

As a forward-thinking and independent platform developer, we create progressive and exceptional service-driven platforms for our clientele in the world of finance, healthcare, social services and education. Our aim is to assist our clients in remodeling and improving their service to their customers to add value to humankind and society. We pride ourselves on being transparent, unconventional and thinking outside-the-box to create a significant impact in the world.

Mission

We are on a mission. In that mission we promise empowerment, engagement and excellence by connecting people, platforms and data. Topicus builds and runs impactful consumer-centric platforms in four dedicated areas: social services, healthcare, education and financial services. This promise is made to citizens, professionals and institutions.


Values

Our deeply-rooted unpresuming and willful eastern Dutch culture is based on our core values – entrepreneurship, responsibility, autonomy and teamwork. All of which is illustrated in our four key Topicus traits - we dare, we share, we care – and we deliver. At all times and under any circumstance, no matter how complex the puzzle may be. We thrive on a challenge. 

Vision

We operate under the guiding principle: to empower people to have self-directed, engaging, efficient and social lives, whether it is in business or in person. In business through connected education, healthcare and financial services. In person through adaptive learning, e-health and personal finance.    

Our History

Our up-and-coming company Topicus, as we know it today, came into existence in 1998. This was when two of our founders sold their previous company Utopics and began the new and revitalised company: Topicus! Indeed same letters, different name. With our get-up-and-go attitude, we have grown into a company that has an impact on people's lives in defining ways.
