BenQ Launches Light Meets Insight to Empower Startups and Boost Workplace Excellence
Introducing the Light Meets Insight Program
BenQ, a global leader in display and lighting technology, has recently launched its Light Meets Insight program during National Entrepreneurship Month. This initiative aims to highlight the innovation, creativity, and leadership of founders, while setting a new standard for high-performance work in the digital era.
Research indicates that well-optimized lighting can significantly improve productivity and creative performance. Inspired by these findings, BenQ is committed to supporting human focus and innovation by enhancing working environments with its award-winning ScreenBar®.
"The 'Light Meets Insight' program is designed to help founders and leading developers maximize focus, efficiency, and breakthrough thinking," said Jeffrey Hsieh, Director of Consumer Products at BenQ America. "For many years, BenQ has researched how visual comfort and environmental design impact people's thinking, creativity, and performance."
Stories of Trailblazing Entrepreneurs
At the core of the program are the inspiring stories of trailblazing entrepreneurs whose focus and imagination are driving meaningful change. Each featured founder brings a unique perspective on leadership, innovation, and the modern founder's mindset. The inaugural group of founders includes changemakers across various industries:
- Ishan Patel, co-founder and CEO of Audien Hearing
- Jennifer Palmer, founder and CEO of JPalmer Collective
- Brian Schwartz, co-founder of SIZE and SIZE Capital
Through this initiative, BenQ collaborates with founders, designers, and tech professionals through product experiences and co-created content, showcasing how its human-centered design enhances focus and creativity.
"This is just the start of an ongoing program that will support today's and tomorrow's builders and dreamers with the right tools to stay focused and inspired. Our goal is to create a supportive community that we, in turn, support with tools to thrive and succeed," said Hsieh.
