i-PRO Co., Ltd. (formerly Panasonic Security), a major global manufacturer of edge computing cameras for security and public safety, announces a major expansion of its EMEA Partner Program.
The move supports i-PRO’s long-term growth strategy and commitment to building a dynamic, future-focused partner ecosystem.
Unveiled last month at the i-PRO EMEA i-Summit 2025 annual partner conference in Barcelona, the enhanced program reinforces i-PRO’s position as one of the most partner-centric innovators in the security industry.
Ecosystem-led innovation
It marks a strategic shift toward ecosystem-led innovation, ethical AI, and deep collaboration across mission-critical sectors such as transportation, large venues, stadiums, and smart cities.
The updated EMEA Partner Program introduces a new two-tier model for integrators inspired by i-PRO’s Japanese heritage:
- Fuji Partners – elite collaborators recognized for deep expertise, innovation, and sustained engagement.
- Torii Partners – trusted new entrants aligned with i-PRO 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.
Benefits to the partners
Partners in the program gain access to a robust suite of benefits
Partners in the program 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 aren’t just resellers—they’re co-creators,” said Jose Riolobos, President of i-PRO EMEA. "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, trusted relationships.”
Early access to latest cameras
They also gain hands-on knowledge of the latest camera models introduced this year
Through the program 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 gain 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.
To equip their 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, camera configuration, and more.
Participants are guided through a complete setup 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.
Seeking partners
“Partnering with i-PRO has transformed how we approach security innovation. The new Partner Program is a game-changer, giving us the tools, insights, and collaborative power to deliver smarter, more efficient security solutions. We’re excited to be part of a unique community that’s shaping the future," commented Gust Dierckx, Founder and Owner at DNCS.
As the company continues to grow, i-PRO is actively seeking new partners—particularly integrators, AI app developers, and solution architects—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, setting a new industry benchmark for transparency, ethics, and security governance. This dedication to responsible technology is embedded in the partner program itself, attracting collaborators who share these values.
