Our Story

2017

We founded Asura Technologies in 2017 with a goal of paving the way towards a future where companies can generate revenue and create valuable time for themselves through machine learning algorithms. In the beginning, it was a major decision for us to target foreign markets first. Since then, we have been actively involved in numerous projects in the United States, Asia, and Europe as well.

2018

Our company's first product, ARU, a camera-independent license plate recognition software, received a special award at the 2018 Intertraffic Amsterdam Innovation Awards. It was recognized as a solution capable of transforming existing infrastructure into a smart system.

2019

In 2019, GB & Partners Venture Capital Fund invested 700 million HUF in Asura, acquiring a majority ownership stake in the Hungarian company.

2020

During the raging COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, we developed our own facial recognition software in record time, completing it in just 6 weeks. This system helped monitor compliance with quarantine rules and assisted in the tracking and supervision of infected individuals.

2021

In 2021, they invested 3.2 billion HUF in the company's U.S. subsidiary, Asura Technologies USA Inc., thus obtaining majority ownership in Denver-based Parking Revenue Recovery Services Inc. (PRRS). The acquisition combined PRRS's over 20 years of parking enforcement experience with Asura Technologies' innovative automation and video analytics expertise, creating a unique parking enforcement automation system that continuously monitors parking spaces in twenty-one states.

2022

We reached new milestones after the decline of the global pandemic. In 2022, Asura became a Gold Partner of Axis Communications. That same year, we embarked on an exciting project in Hungary, developing an innovative parking system for Budapest Airport.
We initiated a bicycle counting project with Hungarian Public Roads, aimed at improving data quality and expanding real-time data reporting technology. In the same year, we were able to incorporate our unique analytical software into monitoring the transportation system of a remote country.

2023

Since 2022, we have been providing traffic control and data collection systems for the local authorities in Thailand. We also develop video analytics systems related to toll systems in the region, providing information on license plates and vehicle type, brand, and category data of passing vehicles.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence has entered our daily lives, and it has become evident that it will transform entire sectors in the future. Therefore, we have taken on an educational role to help people adapt to the rapidly evolving technological changes. Our goal is to demonstrate how AI can be used properly and ethically in the field of education. We hold workshops on AI for high school computer science teachers (STEM-teachers) in collaboration with Óbuda University and SKOOL. This collaboration serves as the foundation for an extended social educational program, with a focus on establishing a balanced relationship between AI and humans.
