Promethean’s ActivPanel recognised as best in education

By Dean

07 Dec 2015

Global education technology solutions company Promethean continues its history of success in the coveted Bett Awards. The company’s ActivPanel was named as a finalist in the 2016 Digital Devices category.

Promethean is known for its background in education and experience in pioneering technology solutions that enhance teaching and learning environments. With a focus on the education market, Promethean developed the ActivPanel in response to growing global demand for interactive flat panel displays (IFPDs) that specifically address the needs of educators and students.

Ian Curtis, head of western Europe, Africa and ANZ, commented: “Our experience creating innovative, effective technology solutions for education has helped us to quickly establish Promethean’s ActivPanel at the forefront of the market – evidenced by our share increases quarter on quarter. The response to the ActivPanel has been phenomenal from educators and also our channel partners who have played a fundamental part in its success to date.

In just two years, Promethean has become a major player in the IFPD market – evidenced by Futuresource Consulting figures that show Promethean’s market share increasing by over 576 per cent, when comparing Q2 in 2015 with Q2 in 2014. The Bett Award winners will be announced at the awards ceremony that is taking place at the Brewery Central in London, on 20 January 2016. In addition, Promethean will showcase the latest generation ActivPanel at Bett 2016 on stand B99
