NaviLens develops a proprietary high-contrast colour-matrix code (an accessible next-generation QR alternative) that smartphones can detect from up to 30 metres away, at wide angles and without focusing, making physical spaces and products navigable for blind and visually impaired people. Founded in 2017 in Espinardo (Murcia, Spain) by Javier Pita under the parent company Neosistec / Nuevos Sistemas Tecnológicos, the technology is deployed in 30+ countries and 50+ cities across transit networks (Barcelona TMB, New York City Subway, Melbourne trams, Singapore SMRT) and consumer packaging for brands such as Kellogg's, Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Carrefour. In December 2024 impact investor Suma Capital took a majority stake (~50-55%) via its SC Growth Fund II; Lorenzo Campos became CEO in July 2025 while founder Javier Pita moved to Chairman and Chief Innovation Officer.
