HP IMAGINE 2026

Future vision At HP Imagine 2026 the company unveiled its vision for the future of work, which leans into AI-powered devices, security innovations and intelligent workflow solutions designed to help businesses and individuals thrive.

HP held its annual Imagine conference in late March, unveiling a raft of new products and services, as well as the company’s vision for the future of work. And the future, according to HP, will be AI- driven – and that informed much of what was announced. “As we look ahead, the Future of Work is about making work simpler in a world that’s getting more complex,” says Bruce Broussard, interim chief executive officer, HP Inc. “At HP, we’re focused on using AI to create more connected experiences that help organisations move faster and help people do their best work. At HP Imagine 2026, [we showed] how that comes to life through solutions that work together, securely and seamlessly, so our customers can do their best work wherever work happens.” Bruce’s last point is crucial as, despite rapid digital transformation, friction still often 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.

But employees equipped with the right tools are twice as likely to feel positive about their work. AI is amplifying that impact at scale: HP’s internal deployment of AI PCs drove a 16% productivity keeping employees productive and businesses moving. It was with this in mind that HP announced a raft of launches at HP Imagine 2026. Gen Z One such announcement was the launch of a new generation of HP Z Workstations. For instance, the HP Z8 Fury G6i is designed to meet the most demanding compute and AI workloads. With support for up to four NVIDIA RTX PROTM 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition GPUs and next-generation workstation Intel® processors, the Z8 Fury is purpose- built high performance for advanced AI development, visual effects and simulation workloads, and is purpose built to be the ideal host for sharing scarce GPU resources with HP ZBoost. HP also introduced the HP Max Side Panel for Z8 Fury and Z4 workstations,
