i-PRO launches expanded EMEA Partner Programme to power innovation

Unveiled at the i-PRO EMEA i-Summit 2025 in Barcelona, the enhanced Partner Programme reinforces i-PRO’s position as one of the most partner-centric innovators in the security industry. Further, it marks a strategic shift towards ecosystem-led innovation, ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep collaboration across mission-critical sectors including transportation and smart cities.

The updated EMEA Partner Programme introduces a new two-tier model for integrators inspired by i-PRO’s Japanese heritage:

*Fuji Partners: elite collaborators recognised for deep expertise, innovation and sustained engagement

*Torii Partners: trusted new entrants aligned with i-PRO’s values and eager to grow within the community

This structure rewards more than just revenue performance. It emphasises knowledge-sharing, technical certification and a shared commitment to responsible innovation.

Partner benefits

Partners involved in the Partner Programme gain access to a robust suite of benefits, including extended warranties, preferential pricing, demo equipment discounts, dedicated local support and expert guidance from Day One. They also receive ongoing training for both technical and sales teams, access to joint marketing opportunities, exclusive use of the EZ2 Partner Portal and invitations to community events and summits across Europe.

“Our partners are not just resellers,” explained Jose Riolobos, president of i-PRO EMEA. “They’re co-creators. Together, we’re building a collaborative community that’s shaping the future of intelligent security. We see our partners as an extension of our business and firmly believe that lasting success comes from strong and trusted relationships.”

Through the Partner Programme and close collaboration with i-PRO, partners gain a deeper understanding of the company’s Japanese roots and its commitment to precision manufacturing and quality. They also derive hands-on knowledge of the latest camera models introduced this year, built at i-PRO’s new state-of-the-art factory in Saga, Japan.

In order to equip its partners with the expertise needed to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market, i-PRO offers online technical training through the i-PRO Active Learning Platform. This multilingual technical education portal offers practical training in AI analytics, VMS deployment and camera configuration, etc.

Participants are guided through a complete set-up process from unboxing to configuration, while gaining practical experience with i-PRO systems. The platform also includes links to FAQs and technical videos.

Upon completing each course, participants earn a certification: an increasingly important credential as demand for verified technical expertise continues to rise.

Security innovation 

“Partnering with i-PRO has transformed the way in which we approach security innovation,” commented Gust Dierckx, founder and owner at DNCS. “The new Partner Programme is a game-changer, giving us the tools, insights and collaborative power to deliver smarter and more efficient security solutions. We’re excited to be part of a unique community that’s shaping the future.”

As the company continues to grow, i-PRO is actively seeking new partners and, in particular, integrators, AI app developers and solution architects who are ready to shape the next chapter of security innovation.

i-PRO recently became the first company in the security industry to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification for AI management, duly setting a new industry benchmark for transparency, ethics and security governance. This dedication to responsible technology is embedded in the Partner Programme itself, attracting collaborators who share these values.

With a bold focus on growth, openness and a culture of co-creation, i-PRO is offering a powerful value proposition for its partner community.
