What i3CONNECT does

i3CONNECT is the commercial brand of i3-TECHNOLOGIES NV, a privately held Belgian company headquartered in Diest that designs, manufactures, and distributes interactive touchscreen displays, collaboration software, and IT management tools. The product portfolio centers on interactive flat panel displays (IFPs) for two primary verticals: education (primary, secondary, and higher education institutions) and business (corporate meeting rooms and hybrid workspaces). The current display line includes the Elm 2 (budget-friendly, Google EDLA certified), Aspen 4 (flagship with QLED, local dimming, Dolby 80W speakers, and Android 15), i3SIXTY 3 (mobile rotatable), Walnut W1 (LED wall), and Cactus (non-touch). Every display ships with i3CONNECT Studio, a free pre-installed software suite for whiteboarding, annotation, presenting, and video conferencing, and the i3CONNECT Cortex platform enables remote fleet management for IT administrators. Supporting accessories include OPS mini-PCs, AllSync wireless sharing transmitters/receivers, i3CAMERA Pro/FHD, Lift 4 lifts, mounts, stands, i3CAIR air quality sensors, and Motion 2 active-learning cubes, with i3LEARNHUB and the Gynzy integration (used by 400,000+ teachers) rounding out the education software ecosystem.

The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct regional sales teams (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, UK) and a network of distributors and resellers across Europe. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with contract cadences spanning multi-year deployments typical of institutional and enterprise buyers. Hardware is the primary revenue driver, complemented by an emerging software/services layer (Cortex, Studio) and accessories. i3CONNECT operates from Belgium (HQ), Netherlands (Eindhoven office and 's-Heerenberg warehouse), and Germany (Bochum, DACH coverage), with on-site warranty service in 13 European countries and reseller-based distribution elsewhere. The business is privately owned, with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and a CTOUCH legacy that has been rebranded into the i3CONNECT identity.
