With integrated BenQ EZWrite software, teachers and teams can annotate, brainstorm, and share ideas instantly—whether participants are in the room or joining remotely.
A Step Forward for Education In both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, digital transformation in education has accelerated under ambitious national visions. The latest BenQ Boards are tailored to these priorities, providing educators with AI-enhanced whiteboarding tools, split-screen collaboration, and cloud integration with popular platforms such as Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. The panels enable immersive, student-centric experiences that align with 21st-century skills development.

By supporting BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) flexibility, teams can connect laptops, tablets, or smartphones effortlessly, ensuring smooth presentations and dynamic discussions. Low blue light and flicker-free technology also safeguard wellbeing during extended use.
With dedicated service networks, local partnerships, and continuous product innovation, BenQ ensures its IFP ecosystem empowers every educator, business leader, and institution to shape smarter and more connected futures.

What Pro Cyclists Track With Power Meters and Sensors, You Can Do With HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series
Imagine a cyclist as if they were an engine, and that the performance of that engine can be gauged through something called cycling power. Simply put, the more power you generate, the faster you go and the harder you push. By understanding your cycling power, you gain deep insights into your current ability on the bike. This knowledge helps you optimise your energy usage and craft a smarter, more effective training strategy.
Traditional cycling power meters tend to be pricey, and setting them up or adjusting them for different bikes can be quite complex. This is enough to put off many cycling enthusiasts. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series is the first smart watch to offer cycling virtual power directly on your wrist. This means cyclists can access real-time power data without investing in a dedicated power meter. Delivering precision comparable to professional cycling gear, the watch elevates the riding experience for enthusiasts by offering a more sophisticated and expert-level approach to tracking performance.
