ITWeb TV: Tech predictions 2026 | Ep #129
In this special episode of ITWeb TV, Group editor in chief Adrian Hinchcliffe, ITWeb Portals editor Chris Tredger and ITWeb Brainstorm editor Matthew Burbidge examine key technology trends shaping 2026 and beyond, including AI, quantum computing, connectivity, cybersecurity, and energy. While AI adoption is widespread, most organisations remain stuck in pilot phases, with ROI still unclear. Quantum-safe encryption is becoming urgent ahead of quantum breakthroughs, while cybercrime is set to become fully automated. Connectivity may improve with Project Kuiper launching before Starlink in South Africa. Energy security, data sovereignty, and digital sustainability remain critical foundations for future growth. #techpredictions #techtrends #itwebtv
