IDC & UiPath Executive Dinner
Closing the Value Gap: From Automation Foundations to AI-led Transformation
AI and automation are delivering real results for some organisations, and frustrating complexity for many others.
According to IDC, the European business automation platform market will reach $21.5B by 2029, growing at a20.6% CAGR. The fastest-growing subsegment, AI and agentic automation, is forecast to grow at 45.8% CAGR to $5.9B by 2029, more than twice the rate of the overall market. The leaders aren’t choosing between RPA and AI; they’re sequencing them, applying tried-and-tested automation where it works and adding agentic AI where it unlocks new value. Organisations that treat AI and automation as separate strategies risk paying twice and scaling neither.
IDC and UiPath will convene a curated group of senior technology leaders for an evening of insights, sharing intelligence, challenging assumptions, and leaving with a clearer path forward.
