CIO Summit Milan
The Rise of Agentic Systems
Modernize. Secure. Innovate. Lead with the power of Agentic-AI
The IDC CIO Summit Italy 2026 is the leading event for senior technology and business executives shaping enterprise strategy and digital leadership in one of Europe’s most ambitious and transformation-driven economies. Designed for CIOs, CTOs, and transformation leaders, this one-day summit delivers actionable insights on Italy’s top priorities for 2026: modernization, cybersecurity, sustainability, AI and Agentic AI adoption, and aligning IT investments with measurable business value in an increasingly regulated environment.
Agenda
IDC analysts and industry experts will share practical guidance on building resilient, secure, and sustainable IT architectures, reducing technical debt, and deploying AI, including Agentic AI, responsibly and at scale. Through keynote sessions, panels, and collaborative exchanges, the Summit equips Italy’s CIOs with the frameworks, research, and leadership insights to drive trusted innovation, strengthen resilience, and advance Italy’s digital transformation through 2026 and beyond.
2026 Prediction
By 2027, 55% of G1000 CIOs will be tasked to create enterprise AI value playbooks, featuring expanded ROI models to define, measure, and showcase AI impact across efficiency, growth, and innovation.
Main Themes
The CIO as Business Strategist
CIOs have evolved from operational leaders to enterprise strategists. As digital transformation reshapes every business model, technology leadership now defines competitiveness. Today’s CIO must align IT priorities with business outcomes, influence the boardroom agenda, and drive innovation that delivers measurable value.
Modernization, Legacy and Technical Debt
Managing technical debt is no longer just a maintenance concern, it’s a strategic priority. Modernizing legacy systems, simplifying architectures, and optimizing cost structures allow organizations to shift resources from upkeep to innovation. Streamlined technology portfolios create the agility needed to compete in a digital economy.
The Agentic AI Revolution
Agentic AI marks a shift from automation to autonomy. How CIOs can govern, scale, and integrate autonomous AI systems responsibly (balancing opportunity with oversight to create intelligent, self-directed enterprises.
Resilience by Design
Resilience is emerging as the defining capability of modern enterprises. Adaptive architectures, secure infrastructure, and integrated continuity planning enable organizations to withstand disruption (whether from economic uncertainty, regulatory shifts, or cyber threats) while sustaining growth and trust.
Cybersecurity, Trust, and Digital Sovereignty
As digital ecosystems expand, trust becomes a critical currency. CIOs must address cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and compliance in tandem, ensuring that cloud strategies and cross-border operations align with evolving regulations. Building digital trust creates both protection and competitive advantage.
Building the Intelligent Enterprise
Data is the foundation of every intelligent organization. Reliable, governed, and accessible data architectures enable AI, automation, and analytics to operate at scale. Enterprises that invest in strong data foundations are better positioned to extract insight, anticipate change, and deliver smarter, faster business outcomes.
2026 Prediction
By 2027, G1000 organizations will face an up to 30% rise in underestimated AI infrastructure costs, driving CIOs to expand the scope of FinOps teams to optimize expenses and enhance business value.

Gabriella Greison
Gabriella Greison is a physicist, writer, actress, and storyteller specializing in quantum mechanics. For years, she has been bringing physics out of the laboratories and into the theaters, transforming formulas and equations into stories that speak to everyone. She has written fifteen books and created fifteen theatrical productions dedicated to the leading figures of 20th-century physics, from Einstein to Planck, from De Broglie to Leona Woods. Her shows have been staged throughout Italy and abroad, from Cambridge to Washington to CERN. She collaborates with “Corriere della Sera” and Radio 24, where she develops science outreach projects using innovative language. At the heart of her work is always the same idea: physics is not something distant, but a key to understanding human relationships, emotions, and the world that surrounds us every day. On the Corriere website, she created the hit series “Scintille,” where every issue—from traffic to unlivable cities, from climate change to AI—is addressed through the lens of complex systems physics. She was named by Forbes as one of the 10 most successful women in Italy. Her website, www.GreisonAnatomy.com, is highly trafficked and a true go-to source for content.

The Future Is Not a Software Update
The Courage to Change the Rules
For years, we have imagined technological progress as a race: more powerful computers, faster algorithms, increasingly intelligent systems. But physics tells a different story. In complex systems, increasing the power of a single component can change the behavior of the entire system in unpredictable ways. And an extraordinary technology, when placed in the wrong context, can produce disastrous results.
Gabriella Greison, physicist and storyteller of quantum mechanics, takes audiences beyond the familiar narratives surrounding artificial intelligence to explore some uncomfortable questions.
What if the problem facing businesses is precisely their obsession with efficiency? What if automating everything means losing the ability to recognize what truly matters? And what if real innovation lies in understanding which decisions must remain human?
Drawing on the great scientific revolutions and the insights that have transformed our understanding of reality, Greison shows why the future emerges from interactions, from the complementarity of different technologies, and from the ability to recognize what happens when different elements begin to work together.
Because the CIO of the future will have to do something far more challenging than choosing the best technology: understand how that technology will transform people, organizations, and the very possibilities of the business itself.
The most dangerous technology is the one that works perfectly while no one stops to ask why we are using it.

Gabriella Scapicchio
Gabriella Scapicchio è la Direttrice Generale di Fondazione NEST – Network for Energy Sustainable Transition, l’unico partenariato pubblico-privato in Italia dedicato alla transizione energetica, con l’obiettivo di disegnare il futuro dell’energia.
Innovation strategist e manager, ha costruito la sua carriera mettendo in connessione mondi diversi. Dopo una lunga esperienza in grandi aziende multinazionali, ha ideato e guidato uno dei principali hub di innovazione in Italia, trasformandolo in un luogo di incontro e contaminazione tra corporate, startup, università e investitori.
Ma il suo punto di osservazione va ben oltre i confini nazionali. Gabriella ha attraversato 160 Paesi, spesso scegliendo le rotte meno battute e alcuni dei luoghi più complessi e difficili da raggiungere del pianeta. Il viaggio è diventato la sua seconda scuola di innovazione e leadership: un esercizio continuo di curiosità, ascolto, adattamento e apertura verso ciò che ancora non conosciamo.
Da questa doppia esperienza nasce il suo sguardo: strategico e visionario, ma sempre concreto; capace di leggere le trasformazioni globali attraverso le imprese, le tecnologie, le persone e le culture.
È autrice di “10 strategie per l’innovazione” (Hoepli, 2025), TEDx e keynote speaker e Amministratrice indipendente in board aziendali. Nel 2021 Forbes l’ha inserita tra le 100 donne più influenti d’Italia. È inoltre promotrice dell’empowerment femminile e sostiene progetti a favore delle donne, anche in Afghanistan.
Sul palco porta storie, incontri e prospettive raccolte ai confini del mondo, intrecciandole con oltre vent’anni di esperienza manageriale. Perché innovare, proprio come viaggiare, significa avere il coraggio di lasciare le mappe conosciute e immaginare nuove direzioni.

Leapfrog: The One Who Jumps Wins
Lessons in Innovation from Countries You Wouldn’t Expect
There are countries we don’t typically associate with innovation that have already pioneered solutions we still consider part of the future.
Drawing on a journey through 160 countries, five surprising stories of innovation reveal how the most revolutionary ideas sometimes emerge from the most unexpected places.
Five passport stamps to explore unfamiliar territories and discover how, sometimes, getting further ahead doesn’t mean following every step along the way, but having the courage to skip a few.
At the heart of these stories lies an idea that challenges many of our assumptions: those who start first don’t always finish first. Sometimes, the advantage lies in having no established path to follow, no existing infrastructure to protect, and no entrenched models to replicate.
And one question for those leading technology within organizations: is the real barrier to innovation technology itself, or the legacy of the systems we have already built?
A journey designed to help you return to the business with a fresh perspective on what to build—and what to let go.

According to IDC’s Worldwide CEO Survey (February 2024, n = 67), 48% of CEOs in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) now report regularly to the board on the status of digital initiatives, highlighting the strategic nature of digital technologies among businesses.
5 Lessons to Shape Your AI Digital Future: Learning from the Past
A little over a year ago, a new phase of the digital business era began with OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT. The generative AI (GenAI) boom is expected to roundly influence what comes next: AI Everywhere. AI is expected to become a driving force of our digital future, impacting individual lives, consumers, citizens, workers, businesses, and society.
