DisplayNote build technologies designed to make it easier for people to present, share, connect and collaborate in real-time across large-format displays, desktop and mobile devices.

Today, DisplayNote partner with some of the world’s largest manufacturers of display technology including NEC, BENQ and Sahara. DisplayNote’s products are now available in 22 languages, distributed globally and there are sales to date of almost 1 million devices incorporating Displaynote’s software products.

DisplayNote recognised early that connecting presenters and participants and enabling collaboration through mobile devices and presentation media offered unique advantages, and they built a new platform functionally rich by comparison with competing solutions. With a clearly defined technical roadmap incorporating new features requested by their customers and novel innovations that will extend their market penetration, DisplayNote, with its broad initial customer base is already recognised as an important player. We are excited about the potential of this Company, and pleased to be part of the DisplayNote team as it builds on its early success to become a substantial player in the global mobile collaboration market.”
