Empowering leaders to transform AI and data into measurable impact
As organizations race to recalibrate for the AI economy, technology leaders are rethinking how they build, run, and scale their enterprise technology fabric. The next era of enterprise technology will be AI-powered, data-driven, and platform-centric (demanding agility, openness, and architectural intelligence).
IDC research reveals that 77% of CIOs rank implementation and scaling of AI as their top priority for 2026.
The IDC European FutureTech Summits will examine strategies for architecting next‑generation enterprise technology environments – encompassing infrastructure, cloud platforms, data services, and application ecosystems – to drive innovation, resilience and scalability. IT leaders are tackling unprecedented challenges: multi‑cloud complexity, interoperability across platforms, and the shortage of advanced skills needed to maintain continuous transformation.
Designed for CTOs, Chief Architects, Heads of Innovation, and IT decision-makers, the IDC FutureTech Series delivers actionable insight on modernizing infrastructure, driving technology innovation, and building future-ready digital foundations across industries like banking, manufacturing, retail, government, energy, and telecom.
