Description

In 2026, global business and government spending on technology goods and services will grow 7.8% to reach a monumental $5.6 trillion. Cloud, AI, and hyperscaler investment will drive much of global tech spend growth, along with cybersecurity and the growing digital economy. Asia Pacific and North America will see the fastest growth, but every region must navigate shifting macroeconomics, tariffs, and supply dynamics. Join Michael O’Grady and Jitender Miglani as they discuss how tech spend will evolve globally in 2026 – and through 2030, including market drivers and risks.

Key takeaways: 

  • How will different categories of tech goods and services grow in 2026 and beyond – and what factors are shaping that evolution?
  • How are AI, cloud, and hyperscaler capex reshaping demand—e.g., AI-optimized servers, software infrastructure CAGR, and IaaS/services dynamics 
  • What are regional and sector trends for tech spending?
  • How do we foresee information workers across global markets driving tech spend? 

Target audience level: intermediate and advanced
