CIO Innovation Hong Kong

CIOs, under challenging enterprise conditions in a volatile economic and geopolitical backdrop, need to find a delicate balance between investing in innovation, affording higher security, and seamless integration of technologies.

This is a complex set of variables demanding agility and strategic foresight. In the hybrid cloud environment, how will the adoption of AI agents and GAI influence IT operations?

As Gartner's recent report for IT spending projects $5.75 trillion, the extraordinary swiftness needed in working with tech partners can’t be overstated. The report also highlights a surge in data center spending— set to rise nearly 35% as businesses prepare for the infrastructure demands of generative AI. How are IT executives predicting the role of technology integration in the immediate future of enterprise operations?

Over 170 delegates, including IT, Digital and Cybersecurity professionals, will gather under one roof to engage the new systems and technologies, enabling them to understand the best practices and to collaborate effectively to overcome the emerging challenges.

Continuing the legacy of the past 11 years, the 12^th CIO Innovation Forum will also present new and emerging opportunities.
