At HP Imagine 2026, HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) announced new AI-powered devices, security innovations, and intelligent workflow solutions designed to help businesses and individuals thrive in an AI-driven future of work.
“As we look ahead, the Future of Work is about making work simpler in a world that’s getting more complex. At HP, we’re focused on using AI to create more connected experiences that help organizations move faster and help people do their best work,” said Bruce Broussard, Interim Chief Executive Officer, HP Inc. “At HP Imagine 2026, we’re showing how that comes to life through solutions that work together, securely and seamlessly, so our customers can do their best work wherever work happens.”
Empowering People to Do Their Best Work
Despite rapid digital transformation, friction persists. According to HP’s 2025 Work Relationship Index, only 20% of workers have a healthy relationship with work, and 22% experience monthly technology issues that disrupt focus. The right technology changes that.
Employees equipped with the right tools are twice as likely to feel positive about their work and report a 33-point improvement in overall experience scores. AI is amplifying that impact at scale: HP’s internal deployment of AI PCs drove a 16% productivity keeping employees productive and businesses moving.
On-Device Intelligence, Right Where Work Happens
To further reduce complexity across the modern workplace, HP introduced HP IQ bringing local, on-device intelligence and proximity-based connectivity together with enterprise manageability to unlock new levels of employee productivity and collaboration across HP AI PCs and workplace devices.
HP IQ can be configured through the HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) and deployed through WXP or other enterprise management tools like Microsoft Intune.
As part of this experience, HP also introduced HP NearSense, which enables seamless collaboration between nearby devices, making it easier to share files, transition between tasks, and join meetings with a single click. Together, these innovations create a more connected and frictionless workplace across the HP ecosystem.
Built for Always-On, AI-Powered Work
Designed for office collaborators and mobile professionals, HP unveiled the EliteBook 6 G2q Next Gen AI PC, bringing together high-performance AI computing, connected experiences, exceptional battery life, and premium design in a lightweight, ultra-slim form factor. The device also features built-in security, including HP Wolf Pro Security and physical intrusion detection, helping protect data and keep work secure wherever it happens.
