Oslo, Norway, Charlotte, NC, US – March 20th, 2026 — Xplora Technologies marks its 10th anniversary by celebrating a decade of strong growth and product innovation. The company aims to create safe, age-appropriate technology that helps families navigate digital life with confidence. Since its founding in 2016, Xplora has grown into a leading player in connected devices for children, with more than 2 million smartwatches sold and more than 750,000 monthly active watch users.
Over the past ten years, Xplora has helped redefine how children take their first steps into the digital world by offering safe alternatives to smartphones that balance independence, communication, and healthy digital habits. Its award-winning devices have enabled millions of calls, messages, GPS check-ins, and everyday moments of connection between children and parents.
“Turning 10 is an important milestone for us,” said Sten Kirkbak, CEO of Xplora Technologies. “We create safe, age-appropriate products that support healthy digital habits. By giving our users the right digital tools today, we build the foundation for a responsible, balanced digital life. We are committed to setting standards that inspire others to follow.”
A major milestone in Xplora’s development is the acquisition of Doro AB and Emporia Telecom GmbH & Co, which expands the company’s portfolio across generations and strengthens its role in the broader family IoT ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Xplora is preparing the launch of SafeAI, a strategic AI and security initiative designed across products. SafeAI will proactively monitor and filter inappropriate text, images, and, in the future, short voice and video messages, helping promote respectful communication and healthy digital habits.
As Xplora enters its next decade, the company remains focused on delivering meaningful innovation and continuing to lead the category of safe connected technology for children, teens, seniors, and families.
