NDI announced the expansion of its global footprint with a new innovation hub in Lisbon, Portugal, and the appointment of industry veteran Don Shaver as business development director.

Operating in 40 global markets, including North America and Sweden, NDI continues to expand its reach. The Lisbon hub will spearhead efforts to “scale operations and foster innovation.” NDI says it expects to see an increase in its local workforce over the next few years to support growing demands. With the addition of roles in software development, customer support and marketing, the company aims to leverage local talent to enhance its global expansion.

“As NDI enters its next phase of growth, expanding our global footprint is critical,” said Daniel Nergard, president of NDI. “Lisbon’s vibrant tech scene, combined with the team’s resources, marks a major milestone that will strengthen our ability to meet the growing demand for NDI solutions.”

With over 28 years in the semiconductor industry and 13 years in broadcast and ProAV, NDI Don Shaver brings invaluable expertise to the role. As former vice president of video product Lines at Semtech Corporation, Shaver led a “cross-functional team responsible for generating significant revenue growth and expanded its ProAV business under his leadership.”

“NDI’s growth is fueled by a clear vision and relentless focus on innovation,” said Shaver. “As we expand globally, we’re not just increasing our footprint—we’re doing so with intention, ensuring that our cutting-edge solutions meet the evolving needs of the Broadcast and ProAV industries. This user-centric approach will continue to power our growth in the coming years.”

In 2025, NDI projects a 50% increase for new units shipped compared to 2024. Key partnerships contributing to this growth include:

• AVer Collaboration: NDI is now standard across all AVer ProAV cameras.
• Panasonic Expansion: Panasonic is extending NDI support to its 4K Integrated Cameras.
