Company mission
To connect the real world with the digital world to improve lives.
Our take
Connexin fundamentally aims to 'enrich lives through sustainable innovation and the unique power of the internet'. Having been founded in 2006, it specialises in award-winning IoT solutions, high-speed connectivity, hosted telephone services, and low-powered networks to build smarter and better-connected communities and cities.
Connexin empowers government and enterprise to deploy end-to-end smart IoT solutions, connecting any devices across any platform or network. It integrates data into its single platform, CityOS, while automating day to day manual processes and optimising operations. This reduces costs and helps clients create new streams of revenue.
Connexin's work is founded on its culture code, central to which is the belief that it makes a difference in people's lives and cares about each other and its customers. Having received over £90 million to date in funding, acquiring upskilling company Encompass Training and being named one of the Northern Tech Awards' top 100 fastest-growing tech companies, Connexin is well-placed to further its goal of building the cities and communities of tomorrow.
