Seeed Is Now a Raspberry Pi Approved Design Partner

Long before becoming a Raspberry Pi-approved reseller in 2018, Seeed has been selling Raspberry Pis, developing kits and accessories that support Pi. Currently, Seeed supports an ecosystem of around 600 products that are compatible with Raspberry Pi. Moreover, we’ve been building a platform where developers scale up their Pi projects through our one-stop services including prototyping, customization, agile manufacturing, and Fusion Marketplace that sells products to the world from makers, teams, and companies in the Raspberry Pi community.

So… to leverage the partnership, we are happy to announce that Seeed is now an official Raspberry Pi Approved Design Partner. The Raspberry Pi Approved Design Partners program launched in December 2020, is dedicated to connecting developers who want to integrate Raspberry Pi and connect them with with a selected list of hardware and software design companies who can support their industrial applications. Every Approved Design Partner is reviewed and approved by Raspberry Pi to ensure that each has the technical and commercial abilities to design products to industry requirements.
