SINGAPORE, October 27, 2025 — IDC today announced the FutureScape Technology and AI Predictions 2026 roadshow, a regional series designed to equip business and technology leaders with IDC’s forward-looking insights into the next wave of AI and digital innovation.
Anchored by the theme “Charting the Agentic Future,” the series brings together executives, analysts, and innovators across Asia/Pacific and Japan to translate IDC’s predictions into strategies for measurable business impact.
From Insight to Impact: Why 2026 Matters
IDC’s FutureScape 2026 predictions reveal that Asia/Pacific enterprises are moving beyond AI pilots to enterprise-wide orchestration, where intelligent adoption drives innovation and competitive growth. IDC further forecasts that by 2030, 45% of organizations will orchestrate fleets of AI agents to enhance collaboration, accelerate operations, and ensure responsible governance [FutureScape 2026: AI-Fueled Business Strategies, Prediction 9].
This marks a pivotal transition from experimental AI to intelligent, self-directed systems delivering measurable business outcomes at scale.
“Tomorrow’s CIOs are not just technology stewards; they’re business architects. Building an AI-fueled enterprise isn’t about technology alone, it starts at the top, where leadership defines purpose, accountability, and trust,” said Sandra Ng, senior vice president, Research, IDC. “The real differentiator lies in orchestrating intelligence across people, data, and ecosystems, creating value before velocity, collaboration beyond boundaries, and governance with conscience. As we move forward into the prediction years, AI is not an experiment but an evolving capability, one that learns, scales, and acts with integrity to turn insight into enterprise autonomy,” ended Ng.
