In a year defined by innovation, teamwork, and pure performance, Neat hit the throttle, taking on the biggest names in video technology and proving that, like to our innovation partner, Oracle Red Bull Racing, the pursuit of greatness never stops.

2025 has been a top gear year for us here at Neat. We’ve continued to innovate with industry-leading products and features, delivering our intelligent, simple video devices to an ever-increasing number of inspiring businesses worldwide, including some major Fortune 500 companies.

Along the way, we’ve helped millions of you enjoy simpler, more flexible, and more reliable hybrid work meetings on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and soon, Google Meet, with our uniquely scalable AI-powered modular architecture (learn more).

So, in celebration of that and our first year as a proud partner of the premier Formula One™ race team, Oracle Red Bull Racing, plus the last F1™ race of this season this coming weekend in Abu Dhabi, here’s our end-of-the-year wrap-up—with a unique and dramatic twist.

Let’s imagine for a moment that Neat was competing in the 2025 Grand Prix race season—going wheel to wheel with the very best—chasing championship glory alongside superstar drivers like Oracle Red Bull Racing’s four-time World Champion, Max Verstappen.

It would perhaps go something like this:

The race begins

It’s lights out at the first race, and Max Verstappen is off to a flying start. But we’re right there, hot on his tail through the first corner, focused, composed, and determined to show what we’ve got under the hood. The season is long and demanding, but our engineers, designers, and pit crew have been working tirelessly, fine-tuning every component for peak performance.

One by one, our bold moves start to change the race…

Our first overtake—Neat Bar goes BYOD

Coming out of the chicane, we switch to attack mode. With the announcement of Neat Bar as a BYOD device, we gave businesses the ultimate flexibility to bring their own devices into any meeting room. It was the equivalent of hitting DRS at precisely the right moment—giving people total freedom to connect however and whenever they want—fast. That surge of power? It pushed us right alongside the front-runners.

Slipstream advantage—partnering with Google Meet

Next race around, we tucked into Max’s slipstream with the announcement of our partnership with Google Meet (coming in Q4). This exciting collaboration opened the door for millions of new users to enjoy Neat’s simple, intelligent video devices on yet another central platform. Suddenly, we weren’t just keeping pace—we were charging side by side with the leaders, accelerating into a whole new arena of opportunity.

Precision pitstop—joining Microsoft’s MDEP

Midway through the season, we made a precision pitstop—Neat joined the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP). This milestone strengthens our partnership with Microsoft and enhances security, manageability, and performance across Neat devices. By aligning with Microsoft’s trusted ecosystem, we’ve fine-tuned our platform for speed, reliability, and scale, giving customers seamless updates, smarter management, and even greater peace of mind. It was a calculated undercut to get ahead that put Neat firmly on the inside line toward a more connected future.

Breaking new ground—introducing Neat Open

Lap after lap throughout 2025, as always, innovation remained our strategy. The introduction of Neat Open will give customers more control, flexibility, and freedom—transforming spaces into adaptable, intelligent, and secure collaboration hubs that you can confidently control and scale, while empowering you to integrate Neat devices with an ever-expanding range of business and video apps. Like a daring mid-race strategy change, it proved that adaptability isn’t just an advantage—it’s how you stay competitive in the race, no matter the conditions.

Crossing the finish line—unveiling Neat Board 32

And then came the showstopper—the unveiling of our new Neat Board 32. Sleek, smart, and engineered for pure collaboration in small spaces and on people’s desks, it struck the perfect balance of power and elegance. No clutter, no complexity, no compromise. It wasn’t just another innovation—it was a statement. The kind of moment that makes the crowd rise to its feet as we surge across the finish line, proving beyond doubt that Neat belongs among the elite.

Season’s end—all eyes on 2026

As the checkered flag waves on 2025, we look back with pride and forward with purpose. This season has shown what happens when bold ideas meet relentless innovation—when every team member, from the design lab to the factory floor and above, shares the same burning desire to go faster, think smarter, and perform better.

We might not have been crowned “World Champion” just yet, but make no mistake—with the pace we’re setting, the smart money says Neat’s on track for the title in 2026. Because when passion meets precision, and teamwork fuels every turn of the wheel and gear shift as it does at Neat, every lap lights up the timing screen with pole-winning purple sectors and brings you closer to greatness.

Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support Neat: our customers, partners, and especially Oracle Red Bull Racing, for making our first year as an innovation partner with them a truly spectacular and rewarding one.

Best of luck with your own quest for victory in the new year!
