About us


Engineered by Criteo_



Established in 2013, BidSwitch operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Criteo - the global leader in programmatic advertising technology and infrastructure.

CRITEO (and previously IPONWEB, acquired by CRITEO in 2022) has a long history of pioneering technology and innovation in programmatic; having built custom platforms for companies across the full spectrum of the global programmatic advertising marketplace. With this insight and perspective, BidSwitch was originally created in order to help programmatic technology companies solve some of the underlying technical complexities and inefficiencies that hamper platform interconnectivity and trading at the infrastructure level.
