Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Capgemini, an AI-powered global business and technology transformation partner, unveiled its ‘TechnoVision Top 5 Tech Trends to Watch in 2026’, highlighting the technologies that are expected to reach an inflection point in 2026.

In a recent statement, Capgemini affirmed that these trends reflect a shift toward deeper integration, resilience, and tangible business value.

The report stated that 2026 will be the moment to move from proof-of-concept to proof-of-impact, ensuring AI drives measurable outcomes, trust, and collaboration at scale.

Second, AI will increasingly generate and maintain software parts, ultimately reshaping the software development lifecycle across industries. Developers will specify outcomes while AI generates and maintains components, shortening delivery cycles and improving quality.

Third, Cloud 3.0 will increase the possibilities for organizations to tailor their cloud consumption to their various requirements notably in terms of redundancy of assets, criticality, and latency.

In 2026, organizations will move from pilots to first production levels, from fragmented automation to end-to-end value chains, but success will depend on ensuring the reliability and scalability of AI agents and the effectiveness of the Human-AI chemistry.

Finally, the race for control over the critical stacks of the digital value chain will continue, from semiconductors to data storage all the way through to AI models, while most hyperscalers and large cloud providers are likely to launch sovereign cloud offers.

TechnoVision is a global program from Capgemini articulating a comprehensive view of the world of Technology to help leaders make technology-driven business transformation decisions. It acts as a guide, allowing decision-makers to focus on the emerging technology trends that will make their organizations more effective.

Capgemini’s Top Five Tech Trends report will be published in January 2026 and the TechnoVision guide, designed to help organizations assess their technology environments, will be published in February 2026.
