József Bognár is a seasoned entrepreneur and expert in smart home technology who has made significant strides in the field of IoT and smart home solutions. His journey began in 2019 with the establishment of his company, which recently culminated in a successful acquisition. Despite economic constraints in Hungary, József focused on educating potential customers about the benefits of smart homes through phased introductions and small, targeted installations in surveillance, lighting control, senior care, and comfort solutions. This approach gradually increased market acceptance and demand.

Driven by a dual focus on IT contracting in software development and testing, and the implementation of agile practices, his company built a robust portfolio that overcame market entry barriers, leading to its acquisition. József's passion for smart home solutions was ignited during his tenure at Current powered by GE, where he developed a smart lighting solution for major retailers. This experience inspired him to adapt these innovations for residential use.

Looking ahead, József envisions smart home technologies becoming standard in new constructions and renovated homes, evolving from isolated devices to fully integrated systems managed by a central control unit. He aims to make smart homes an indispensable part of everyday living. Currently, he is focused on expanding his new business into the European and US markets, tailoring smart home solutions to enhance the lives of elderly individuals with habit detection systems for improved safety and independence.
