Celebrating 5 years of thought leadership, the IDC CIO Summit – Kuwait returns on 14th September 2026 in Kuwait City as Kuwait’s premier gathering of technology decision-makers.

 

Kuwait’s digital economy is entering a new era of intelligence, autonomy, and accelerated innovation. With strong investments in AI, cloud, and data infrastructure, enterprises are moving from pilots to large-scale, value-driven AI deployments. The draft Kuwait National AI Strategy (2025–2028) aligns closely with Kuwait Vision 2035, reinforcing national momentum toward AI-led growth.

 

Across the META region, AI spending is set to reach USD 25.9 billion by 2029. As this investment rises, CIOs face increasing pressure to prove the business impact of AI initiatives. The focus is now shifting to agentic AI—systems that can autonomously decide, execute, and learn. IDC’s 2025 research shows that 40% of organizations are already investing in agentic AI, with 44% piloting use cases.

 

Backed by solid digital foundations and a skilled workforce, Kuwait is well positioned for this next phase. But success will require strong leadership, trust, and governance to ensure responsible and scalable AI adoption.

 

The IDC Kuwait CIO Summit 2026 will bring together top CIOs and technology leaders to explore how organizations can harness agentic AI for measurable impact and build a digital future rooted in innovation, resilience, and trust.

Scaling AI for the Agentic Future: Closing the Enterprise Gaps

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its Vision 2030 digital transformation agenda, agentic AI is emerging as the defining force reshaping how enterprises operate and compete. With global IT spending at its strongest growth since 1996 and enterprise AI spend projected to reach $1 trillion by 2029, the infrastructure is ready — but execution remains the critical gap.

This keynote will draw on the latest IDC research to help CIOs navigate the agentic shift: from deploying and managing agents at scale, to agentifying core business processes, to building the cross-functional leadership needed to turn AI ambition into measurable outcomes. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for leading their organizations into the agentic future.

Resilient Women Leaders in Tech – Driving Innovation with Trust

Resilient Women Leaders in Tech – Driving Innovation with Trust

Hosted By

Logo Logo

Overview

In today’s rapidly changing technology landscape, resilient leadership has never been more critical. Women leaders in tech are uniquely positioned to drive bold innovation while preserving trust, inclusivity, and human connection within their organizations. This exclusive dinner roundtable with Technology Leaders will explore what it means to be a resilient leader in times of uncertainty — from defining the qualities that help teams adapt quickly and bounce back from adversity, to navigating ambiguity across the C-suite when innovation and geopolitical shifts create uncharted territory. Leaders will share how they balance the acceleration of AI with protecting teams from burnout, maintain human connection in globally distributed and hybrid workplaces, and ensure trust and accountability remain at the core of innovation.

 

The conversation will also dive into how women leaders are developing the next generation of talent — both formally and informally — and creating pathways for others to step into leadership. Discussions will be around recognizing early warning signs of eroding trust, aligning diverse leadership perspectives, learning from failed experiments, and identifying when emerging leaders are ready for the next step. Together, this dialogue will highlight the strategies and lived experiences of women at the forefront of technology leadership who are shaping resilient, future-ready teams.

 

The event will conclude with practical insights and inspiration for how to lead with clarity, foster trust across the C-suite, and nurture the next wave of women leaders in tech. Whether you’re an innovator, cybersecurity leader, or advocate for equity, you’ll leave with fresh ideas and the confidence to help create a future where women thrive—not just as participants, but as defenders, creators, and decision-makers shaping tomorrow.

Overview

Global spending on Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) applications is projected to grow at a 12.1% CAGR between 2024 and 2029, with public cloud deployments expanding even faster at 19.4%. This surge is being fueled by the rapid infusion of Generative AI and agentic AI, which are already reshaping the way enterprises manage their assets. In fact, an IDC survey shows that over 60% of ALM customers are already leveraging GenAI features within their solutions — a clear signal of the shift toward AI-driven asset management.

 

Building on this momentum, eSolutions , IBM and IDC invite you to an interactive half-day event that explores how AI, digital twins, and data-driven platforms are redefining the entire asset lifecycle — from planning and operations to sustainability and performance optimization.

What to Expect

The event will showcase the latest advancements in smarter asset lifecycle management, highlight innovations in next-generation facility operations, and demonstrate how AI-powered inspection and monitoring can drive proactive maintenance. Participants will also explore emerging sustainability strategies and hear real-world perspectives from leading enterprises on scaling digital transformation.
