Lenovo’s technology also supported near real-time IPTV delivery – with an average of six seconds latency – to more than 1,000 screens across FIFA venues, helping fans, media, VIPs and officials access live match action across the tournament footprint.

“We have long recognized that this is the biggest opportunity in the world for our brand, but we also know that the value of this sort of partnership goes far beyond that”, said Jeff Shafer, Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing and Chief Communications Officer, Lenovo. “This relationship is based on a deep and authentic technology integration. That had to be front and center, and that’s what makes it so powerful for our company and for our brand. Ultimately, we need to prove to the world that if we can do it for the biggest sporting event in the history of humanity, we can do it for anyone.”

Football as a catalyst for inclusion

Sport has always functioned as a global democratizer, and Lenovo is working to amplify that by providing access to technology for athletes and entrepreneurs. Through community investments, Lenovo Foundation is ensuring that tech solutions extend beyond the event, and that technology and opportunity reach those who need it most.

Rather than spending countless hours gathering and organizing performance data, technical staff can now focus on interpreting insights, refining tactics, and improving player performance.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, platforms like FIFA AI Pro demonstrate how technology can enhance—not replace—the expertise of coaches and analysts. By combining human decision-making with AI-powered intelligence, Lenovo and FIFA are helping shape the future of football, where faster analysis, smarter strategies, and greater accessibility benefit teams of every size on the world's biggest sporting stage.

These efforts reflect Lenovo's commitment to narrowing the digital divide and empowering communities through innovation.

Sustainability also extends to Lenovo's product development through its R.E.A.L. Framework, which emphasizes repairability, reuse, and recycling. The company has made impressive progress in incorporating sustainable materials into its products. Today, 100% of Lenovo's PC products include post-consumer recycled content materials, excluding tablets and accessories.

Lenovo's circular economy initiatives have also delivered remarkable long-term results. Since 2005, the company has enabled the recovery of more than 800 million pounds (approximately 363 million kilograms) of end-of-life products. During the same period, Lenovo has reused over 300 million pounds of post-consumer recycled plastics in its manufacturing processes, reducing waste while conserving valuable resources.

These improvements include Motorola Razr packaging as of FY2023/24.

The company's continued focus on environmental stewardship, responsible product design, and social responsibility has translated into strong business performance. Lenovo was recently ranked No. 5 in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 after the ranking was updated to include corrected ESG data. This recognition highlights Lenovo's ability to integrate sustainability into operational excellence while delivering value to customers, partners, and stakeholders worldwide.

As Lenovo continues advancing its sustainability strategy, it demonstrates that innovation and responsible business practices can go hand in hand, creating lasting benefits for both people and the planet.

Businesses are using their AI agents to improve supply chain visibility, generate customer insights more efficiently, and support faster, data-driven decision-making. These capabilities help organizations increase operational efficiency while maintaining the flexibility to scale AI initiatives as business needs evolve.

As enterprises continue to invest heavily in artificial intelligence, the focus is shifting from experimentation to delivering measurable business outcomes. Lenovo’s production-ready AI ecosystem provides organizations with a faster, more secure, and scalable path to AI adoption. By reducing deployment times and offering proven industry use cases, Lenovo is enabling businesses to transform AI from a promising technology into a practical competitive advantage.
