At its Elevate 2026 event, HP showcased its array of AI solutions built around its Future of Work vision.
The company demonstrated how a mix of on-device intelligence, secure document workflows and startup partnerships can reduce friction in daily work and free employees to focus on higher-value tasks.
“The future of work is not about adding more technology into the workplace, but about making work feel more seamless, secure and meaningful for people,” said Koh Kong Meng (top), Managing Director of Southeast Asia and Singapore at HP Inc.
Key to the AI strategy is the HP IQ ecosystem to coordinate experiences across select HP AI PCs and workplace devices, combining local on-device AI, HP NearSense sensing capabilities and integration with the Workforce Experience Platform (WXP).
The system reduces setup delays, cuts task switching and simplifies collaboration by enabling devices to discover, connect and collaborate with less manual configuration. These capabilities help people stay in flow so that they can spend more time on meaningful work and collaborate effectively from anywhere.
Print remained core in the Future of Work roadmap with HP profiling new LaserJet models that aim to keep document workflows fast and secure. The lineup includes the LaserJet Pro 4112fdw multifunction printer for smart connectivity, the high-speed mono LaserJet Pro 4006dw for dependable output, and the enterprise-grade LaserJet Enterprise MFP X53052dn for high-volume environments.
Security was another area of concern that HP addressed by introducing hardware-enforced protections and quantum-resistant safeguards to close emerging industry gaps. For instance, HP TPM Guard is a hardware solution that prevents physical TPM (trusted platform module) bus attacks, while HP Wolf Security capabilities increase synergy between endpoint protection and WXP to reduce operational overhead and cyber-risk.
Innovation highlights
HP also used Elevate to spotlight HP Garage 2.0, its Singapore innovation platform that pairs startups with HP mentors and enterprise use cases. Announced earlier this year, the second cohort infludes six startups — Good Bards, Synvo AI, Kris@Work, CoreOps.AI, Walled AI, and AirShelf AI — working on agentic marketing, contextual AI, go-to-market intelligence, operations automation, guardrails, and commerce applications.
On show were pilots linking Garage startups to sales insights, AI calling agents and next-generation audio edge capabilities, highlighting that Singapore has the talents to develop innovative AI solutions for the world.
AI is transforming the way people work, live and play and like Koh summed up, it’s no longer about AI literacy but AI fluency.
