What Move & Connect does

Move & Connect is a privately held French IoT connectivity provider headquartered in Sophia Antipolis, founded in 2010. The company resells and orchestrates multi-carrier cellular connectivity for IoT devices, leveraging multi-IMSI SIM cards designed by Thales, eUICC-capable eSIMs, and the Move & Connect Manager portal for OTA activation, suspension, monitoring, and real-time data usage optimization. Underlying network reach is provided through a Webbing reseller relationship (650 roaming agreements across roughly 200 countries) and, as of March 2026, a strategic alliance with NYSE-listed KORE Group Holdings that adds a unified global API across 190+ countries and underpins a planned AI-powered analytics layer.

The company's core offerings are IoT cellular data plans (usage-based, subscription, and dynamic pool pricing), SIM hardware in triple-cut and MFF2 form factors, and managed connectivity services supported by 24/7 customer support. Revenue mechanics combine usage-based data charges, hardware sales, subscription plans with seasonal dynamic-pool flexibility, and managed-service fees. Distribution is direct enterprise sales backed by consultation CTAs, supplemented by strategic channel partnerships with KORE and Webbing and content-driven marketing across an industry blog and vertical solution pages.

Move & Connect serves eight vertical segments — EV charging, retail and logistics, smart farming, healthcare, micro-mobility, automotive, Industry 4.0/manufacturing, and smart cities — with named customers spanning TotalEnergies, Nexity, Pirelli Motorsport, Vitibot, Swobbee, CarbonBee, R3 (DBT Group), Beeguard, Heyliot, and European Waterways. The company operates with a lean 1-10 person team, no disclosed external funding, and a reported 4.9-star customer rating from 200+ reviews.
