Unificare Cloud, Dati e Infrastruttura per accelerare l’innovazione dell’AI su scala
L’IDC FutureTech Summit è l’evento di riferimento per CTO, Responsabili delle architetture IT e leader tecnologici che stanno plasmando la prossima era dell’IT aziendale. L’AI non è più un’iniziativa collaterale: sta diventando il fulcro della crescita del business. Oltre la metà dei CXO prevede un aumento dei ricavi grazie all’AI, e il 77% dei CIO indica l’implementazione e la scalabilità dell’intelligenza artificiale come priorità assoluta per il 2026. Per avere successo, le organizzazioni devono ricalibrare non solo gli strumenti, ma anche la mentalità, l’architettura e la leadership.
Questa svolta decisiva porta le imprese oltre i progetti pilota isolati verso implementazioni su scala, richiedendo dati, sistemi e persone pronti a supportare operazioni autonome e guidate dall’AI.
Le ricerche IDC mostrano che i budget IT per AI, Cloud ed Edge saliranno al 15-30% entro il 2027, segnando un impegno a livello europeo per modernizzare le fondamenta tecnologiche e accelerare l’innovazione.
2026 Prediction
Entro il 2026, il 90% dei responsabili delle decisioni sulle infrastrutture digitali a livello globale considererà l'AI come un fattore determinante per i budget e per le scelte tecnologiche.
Tematiche principali
AI-Ready Infrastructure Modernization
Strategie per l’aggiornamento dei sistemi legacy e la creazione di piattaforme scalabili, sicure e ad alte prestazioni per i carichi di lavoro (workload) dell’IA.
Cloud-Native and Hybrid Architectures
Best practice per l’adozione di ambienti cloud-native, ibridi e multicloud per favorire agilità, resilienza e conformità.
Edge Computing for Real-Time Intelligence
Sfruttare l’infrastruttura Edge per l’inferenza IA a bassa latenza, l’efficienza operativa e la sovranità dei dati.
Cybersecurity & Digital Trust
Mettere in sicurezza le piattaforme basate sull’IA, gestire i rischi e costruire ecosistemi digitali basati sulla fiducia.
Automation, Observability, & Autonomous Operations
Semplificare la gestione IT e potenziare la resilienza attraverso AIOps, automazione intelligente e osservabilità avanzata.
Data Platforms and Integration
Costruire architetture di dati unificate e sicure che connettano sorgenti cloud, edge e on-premises per l’analisi in tempo reale e la creazione di valore aziendale.
2026 Prediction
l’82% degli acquirenti di servizi cloud pianifica di modernizzare il proprio patrimonio cloud (cloud estate) e l’88% sta implementando o già gestendo un cloud ibrido.

Alberto Longo
Human-Centered & Strategic Innovation Expert | European Commission Advisor
Bio
Alberto Longo
With over 18 years of experience in design, AI strategy, and digital transformation, I have dedicated my career to decoding the language of intelligence—biological, artificial, and collective—and shaping a future where technology and humanity evolve in symbiosis. As an expert for the European Commission, I engage in the strategic development of Industry 5.0, ethical AI, and the digital transformation of cultural heritage, crafting policies and frameworks that honor both innovation and human dignity.
My approach is deeply philosophical and anthropological—I question, I disrupt, I design. I seek to understand how technology influences identity, perception, and consciousness in an age where the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are dissolving. Whether working on human-centered AI, cognitive augmentation, or speculative futures, I explore the liminal spaces where machine logic meets human intuition, where data meets wisdom, where emergent intelligence is born from collaboration, not control.
I am crafting new ontologies of interaction, reimagining how we create, think, and experience reality itself. Through my work in digital heritage, AI ethics, and generative design, I push the boundaries of what it means to be human in an era of intelligent machines.
