ELECFREAKS will also introduce the new Nezha Pro Ocean Kit at BETT 2026, featuring ocean-themed learning tasks that connect robotics with marine science and environmental exploration. Through scenario-based builds and coding challenges, the kit encourages students to apply engineering skills to real-world themes while supporting interdisciplinary STEAM learning.
In addition, the new Nezha Pro Sports Kit will be demonstrated as a sports-inspired robotics solution designed for primary and secondary school learners. Powered by the Nezha Pro controller and PlanetX sensor system, it supports hands-on building activities such as motion control, line tracking, and interactive sports challenges. The kit's beginner-friendly learning approach makes it easy for students to get started while still leaving room for creativity and deeper engineering exploration.
New Robot Car Kit: Classroom Robotics in Motion
As part of its latest robot car releases, ELECFREAKS will debut the TPBot EDU Car Kit at BETT 2026 through live driving demos and classroom-style coding setups. As an upgraded micro:bit robot car, TPBot EDU offers improved driving stability and turning performance for smoother demonstrations and more reliable student projects. With multiple control modes and expandability for creative builds, it provides a flexible platform for both entry-level learning and extended classroom challenges.
New Creative Programming Kit: Game-Based Learning with micro:bit Arcade Pro
ELECFREAKS will also highlight its newest creative coding solution, the micro:bit Arcade Pro, allowing visitors to experience how game-based learning can strengthen programming logic and creativity. With native support for Microsoft MakeCode Arcade, Arcade Pro enables offline game design and logic training in a classroom-friendly format. At the booth, educators and learners can explore how Arcade Pro supports not only playable coding projects, but also extended applications such as robotics control and sensor-based experiments through Jacdac connectivity.
New Advanced Robotics Showcase: Exploration Learning with XGO Rider
For educators and learners looking for more advanced robotics experiences, BETT 2026 attendees can explore the new XGO Rider as part of ELECFREAKS' higher-level showcase. Through hands-on demonstrations, the XGO Rider highlights learning in balance, movement, and intelligent control—offering an engaging way to explore robotics concepts inspired by real-world robotic systems and supporting more challenging innovation projects.
A Broader Portfolio for Classroom STEAM Learning
In addition to its new launches, ELECFREAKS will also present a selection of proven STEAM education solutions to support diverse teaching scenarios. This includes creative coding kits such as Arcade, and Retro Arcade for game-based learning and interactive programming, as well as popular robotics platforms like Cutebot and Cutebot Pro for hands-on robotics education. ELECFREAKS will also showcase its sensor ecosystem, including the Petal, PlanetX, and jacdac sensor series, helping educators build richer classroom projects through experimentation, data collection, and automation.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Secomea, a global leader in secure remote access for industrial OT environments, today announced a significant expansion of its product and technology organization, doubling its investment in product development to accelerate innovation, scalability, and long-term category leadership.
The move reflects Secomea's growing customer base and increasing demand for secure, compliant, and easy-to-use remote access solutions purpose-built for manufacturing and industrial ecosystems.
"Secure remote access has become critical infrastructure for modern manufacturing," said Michael Ferdinandsen, CEO of Secomea. "As cyber risk, regulatory pressure, and global collaboration all accelerate, manufacturers and machine builders need solutions that are purpose-built for OT, not adapted from IT. Doubling product investment ensures we stay ahead of these demands and continue to deliver long-term value to our customers."
As part of this expanded investment, Secomea is strengthening its leadership by elevating exceptional internal talent and welcoming strong players. Together, this team will spearhead Secomea's product strategy, accelerate the execution of breakthrough technologies, and advance a long-term platform vision to redefine the industrial connectivity landscape.
Knud Kegel has extended his role from Chief Product Officer (CPO) to Chief Technology & Product Officer (CTPO).
In this expanded role, Kegel brings product management, engineering execution, and platform architecture under one strategic umbrella, ensuring even tighter alignment between customer needs, product innovation, and engineering delivery.
"Our customers rely on Secomea for something mission-critical: secure remote access to their cyber physical systems (CPS) without slowing down operations," said Knud Kegel, CTPO at Secomea.
"By unifying product and technology leadership, we can move faster, scale smarter, and continue to deliver a platform that's built for the realities of OT."
To further strengthen engineering leadership, Secomea has appointed Thomas Have as Vice President of Engineering.
Have, brings extensive leadership experience from senior technology roles, including recently as SVP Engineering at LogPoint, with a strong track record in building and scaling enterprise-grade security platforms in regulated environments.
"Secomea operates at the intersection of cybersecurity, compliance, and operational continuity," said Thomas Have, VP of Engineering. "That combination demands both technical rigor and a deep understanding of how customers actually work. I'm excited to help scale a platform that's clearly designed for real-world industrial use."
In parallel, Secomea is establishing a dedicated product marketing function to sharpen positioning, clarify customer value, and reinforce category leadership in Secure Remote Access for OT.
The new function will be led by Ingrid Arem Gundersen, a long-term Secomea product leader, who will focus on strengthening the connection between customer needs, product capabilities, and market communication.
"As the category matures, clarity matters more than ever," said Ingrid Arem Gundersen.
"Our mission is to make it unmistakably clear why Secomea exists, who it's built for, and how it delivers value, whether you're responsible for OT security, uptime, or global service operations."
As manufacturers face rising cyber risk and regulatory pressure, and machine builders scale global service operations, Secomea continues to invest where it matters most: a secure, reliable, and easy-to-use platform that defends the factory floor while enabling collaboration across the industrial ecosystem.
About Secomea
Secomea is a Secure Remote Access (SRA) solution purpose-built for industrial networks and OT equipment. Founded in 2008, Secomea helps manufacturers and machine builders secure remote access to machines and production facilities, without compromising uptime or usability.
