Ascentae’s 2025 Year in Review

A Year of Partnerships, Innovation & Smarter Workspaces

Forging Strategic Partnerships in 2025

2025 was a year of powerful alliances for Ascentae, marked by the expansion of its technology ecosystem through several strategic partnerships that strengthened its position in workplace transformation. Early in the year, Ascentae partnered with Utelogy to introduce unified AV and UC management, giving organisations a single pane of glass for monitoring, automation, and proactive maintenance. This was followed by the addition of PointGrab, bringing AI-powered occupancy intelligence to the UK market and enabling businesses to understand space usage in real time. The partnership with TeamBoard expanded Ascentae’s collaboration technology offering with advanced, 4K interactive panels designed for both corporate and educational settings. In the education sector, Ascentae enhanced its portfolio further through a partnership with NUITEQ, enabling schools to access engaging, collaborative digital learning platforms. The company also strengthened its hybrid meeting strategy by incorporating Mersive’s wireless collaboration technology into its BYOM offering, while the partnership with ReThink AV introduced future-ready USB-C and HDMI connectivity solutions that simplify laptop-to-room integration. Together, these partnerships underpin Ascentae’s commitment to delivering an open, interoperable ecosystem of technologies designed to support smarter, more flexible, and more engaging workplaces.

Pioneering Smart Workplace Solutions & Bundles

Innovation in integrated solution design was a defining theme of 2025. Ascentae introduced several transformative ecosystems and bundles:

Smart Workplace Ecosystem: GoBright + PointGrab + Utelogy
