Company overview
Inspiring innovation
SMART is defined by innovation and our desire to improve the way the world works and learns. And we’re defined by our customers – the teachers, students and business people who say that SMART has helped them to discover new ideas, new ways of learning and new ways of collaborating. Our easy-to-use interactive displays and integrated solutions are crucial to classrooms and meeting rooms around the world.
We created the world’s first interactive whiteboard in 1991 and we remain the world’s leading provider of interactive whiteboards.* Incorporated in 1987, SMART has been committed to innovation and excellence for more than 25 years.
It is those core values that have resonated with the education, higher education, business, government and military communities. More than two million SMART Board interactive whiteboards are used by over 40 million students and their teachers, and SMART products are used in more than 175 countries.
Our global success with educators stems from the results that they achieve with our products, which are known to support student-centred learning. And our Freestorm visual collaboration solutions help business teams to increase innovation and boost productivity by working together without the restrictions of traditional tools or distance.
Whilst our product offering started with the interactive whiteboard, it has significantly evolved to include interactive flat panels, interactive tables, interactive pen displays, student response systems, wireless slates, audio enhancement systems, document cameras, conferencing software, a full line of interactive learning software and more. Beyond products, SMART provides the support, integration and services needed to ensure that our customers can use our solutions to their full potential.
