2024 Highlights: What We Achieved Together

Introduction: The Development of the neco App - A Look Back at 2024 and a Glimpse Ahead to 2025

The new year is here, and we proudly look back on an impressive 2024. It was a year filled with innovation, growth, and sustainable milestones for neco. At the same time, we’re starting 2025 with clear goals and renewed energy – ready to further advance digital networking and celebrate new successes with you.

1. Significant Community Growth: Over 5,000 New Users

In 2024, more than 5,000 new users joined neco, growing our community to an incredible 18,000 members. This growth demonstrates that digital networking is no longer just a trend but a necessity in our increasingly connected world.

2. Over 13,000 App Installations Worldwide

With more than 13,000 installations across iOS and Android, neco has once again proven in 2024 that it functions seamlessly and is user-friendly on all platforms.

3. 750 New Companies Rely on neco

This year, 750 additional companies decided to switch from paper to digital business cards. With neco, we’re not just providing a tool for individuals but also an essential resource for businesses aiming to work more sustainably and efficiently.

4. 35,000 Shared Business Cards

In 2024, neco users shared their digital business cards approximately 35,000 times. This sets a clear statement for sustainability: no wasted paper cards, just smarter digital connections.

Did you know that around 10 billion paper business cards are produced globally each year, with 80% of them discarded within a week?
With neco, we’re actively helping to reduce this enormous waste of resources.

5. Sustainability in Focus

Thanks to neco, our users are making a meaningful contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.
For example, a single sales representative using 500 paper business cards annually generates about 5.625 kilograms of CO2.

By sharing 35,000 digital business cards in 2024, we collectively saved 393 kilograms of CO2 – equivalent to the emissions from driving a car about 2,500 kilometers.

This is a powerful example of how small, intentional choices can have a big impact.

6. Over 20 New Features and 100 Improvements

Innovation and user-friendliness are at the heart of what we do. In 2024, we introduced over 20 new features, including:

• High-end designs
• New layouts
• Apple Wallet integration
• Sync options
• And more!

Additionally, we implemented over 100 improvements and bug fixes to make the app even smoother and more efficient. Our goal is to provide you with a reliable and intuitive platform.

7. Increased Reviews and Feedback

The importance of user feedback is reflected in the 400+ new reviews we received in the App Store this year.

Every review matters because it helps us improve the app further. Your feedback drives our innovation and ensures the best possible user experience.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

2024 was a year of highlights, but we’re not stopping here. The future holds exciting plans, including more innovative features and optimizations that will make sharing digital business cards even simpler and more effective.

2024 was a tremendous success for the neco App – thanks to your support and feedback.

We look forward to making 2025 another year of innovation and growth together with you.

Stay tuned – the journey continues! 🚀
