Known for shaking up home projection, XGIMI’s refined and functional design philosophy meets professional performance at an accessible price, with its first flagship pro projector set to debut at IFA 2025.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For more than a decade, XGIMI has done something rare in the projection world: made people care. Through a blend of thoughtful design, smart software, and immersive visuals, the company has reenergized a category that once felt stuck in the past. Now, XGIMI is ready to do it again – this time outside the home. At IFA 2025, XGIMI will unveil TITAN, the first in a new line of professional-grade projectors designed for boardrooms, event spaces, and serious home theater enthusiasts. This launch represents more than just a product – it’s a shift in philosophy.

“We’ve spent years refining the experience of projection for everyday users,” said Apollo Zhong, Chairman of XGIMI. “But the needs of professionals – those building immersive events, leading meetings, or designing performance spaces – are evolving too. The tools available to them haven’t kept pace. We believe we can help change that.”

A Familiar Philosophy, Now in a New Format

TITAN was designed to challenge the assumptions inherent in most professional-grade projectors. XGIMI’s approach remains the same: prioritize flexibility, simplicity, and visual integrity – qualities that have defined its consumer lineup and earned it a loyal global following.

The move into the pro space is a natural next step for the brand, which has long positioned itself as a thoughtful alternative to legacy players. TITAN sets the tone for what’s next: a lineup built not just for performance, but for people.

“There’s a gap between what professionals actually need and what the market gives them. Top-tier visuals often come with a steep price tag, making it harder for professionals to access the quality they deserve.” Zhong added. “We’re closing that gap with thoughtful technology that makes pro-level results more accessible than ever.”

A First Look at IFA 2025

TITAN will debut at ShowStoppers @ IFA on September 4, 2025, in Berlin, and will be featured on the show floor at booth H21-117 from September 5 to 9, 2025. Attendees will get an early look at the category-defining projector and the philosophy driving XGIMI’s new category entrant – alongside a preview of the growing product ecosystem that continues to evolve beyond the home.

TAIPEI, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, has once again been named one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” by HR Asia Magazine for the third consecutive year. The company scored well above the market average in key areas such as “Collective Ownership,” “Sense of Work Purpose,” and “Application of Innovative Technologies,” reflecting its ongoing commitment to talent development, employee well-being, and an inclusive, collaborative workplace culture.

“We believe talent is not just a resource but the driving force behind innovation,” said Gary Wang, Human Resources Director for APAC at ViewSonic. “This award is a reflection of our employees’ dedication and the strong culture we’ve built together. We are committed to investing in diverse learning opportunities and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. This people-centric approach not only supports individual growth but also drives organizational success.”

This latest recognition highlights ViewSonic’s long-term commitment to putting people first—aligning talent development with its sustainability goals and ensuring every employee feels valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Building a Culture of Growth, Belonging, and Empowerment

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—including “Good Health and Well-being,” “Decent Work and Economic Growth,” and “Gender Equality”—ViewSonic has built a diverse, and supportive workplace that fosters active participation and shared ownership of its mission. Through programs such as leadership development, skills training, and mental health support, the company helps employees balance professional growth with personal well-being.

One standout initiative is the “Leadership Acceleration Program,” launched at ViewSonic’s Taiwan R&D Center to help new and mid-level managers shift away from traditional top-down leadership and embrace a more coaching-based style. With over 90 percent of participants applying what they have learned in daily team management, the program is set to expand across other Asian countries next year.

Empowering Talent Through Equal Opportunity and Fair Growth

As a global company, ViewSonic upholds a robust Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy. From hiring to benefits design, decisions are based on performance and ability—regardless of gender, age, physical condition, or nationality. Regular policy reviews and training ensure fairness and inclusivity remain core to the company’s operations.

ViewSonic’s near 1:1 global gender ratio reflects its ongoing efforts to advance gender equity. By ensuring equal access to promotions and development resources—and actively increasing female representation in STEM roles—ViewSonic continues to strengthen workplace diversity across its global teams.

The company also upholds a fair and transparent global compensation framework aligned with local living wages and market benchmarks. By fully adopting living wage standards, the company supports the long-term financial well-being of its workforce.

Creating Real-World Impact for People and the Planet

ViewSonic’s dedication to equity extends beyond its internal operations into the broader community through practical initiatives. The company works to advance digital equity in education, particularly for underserved schools, and partners with local organizations to enhance digital literacy across all ages, backgrounds, and underrepresented groups.

This same sense of purpose also drives ViewSonic’s sustainability efforts. In 2025, ViewSonic earned the EcoVadis Silver medal, ranking in the top 8% of more than 130,000 companies assessed globally for ESG performance. It also champions paperless solutions that enable digital transformation in education and business, significantly reducing resource consumption. As part of this sustainability effort, several of ViewSonic’s display products have earned top-tier environmental certifications, including EPEAT Gold—the highest level in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool. This reflects the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability from product design through every stage of the life cycle.
