HP Innovation
Innovation took centre stage with a sharp focus on AI and Intelligent Automation, which supported by HP advanced software solution, the PrintOS Suite, and combined with LEP/LEPx and Inkjet technologies, showcased the ‘Power of HP Innovation’ to ‘Unlock Profitable Growth’ for customers—a theme that defined the HP booth.
Sustainability
2024 was the most sustainable drupa to date. HP minimised its ecological footprint and promoted social impact with eco-friendly booth designs.
HP printed over 30,000 newspapers and magazines for the Print4Cause project to support social initiatives and featured a reforestation wall, symbolising its commitment to plant 10,000 trees.
HP’s ongoing efforts reflect a strong dedication to innovation, sustainability, and industry excellence, driving strategies into the future.
