Digital Transformation Market Trend Reports ADAPT Emerging Technology Trends 2026 by Pooja Singh, Byron Connolly and Harshit Goel Jan 20, 2026 | 3 mins

Executive summary

Australian organisations are entering a critical phase of technology transformation. After years of experimentation across cloud, data platforms, and generative AI, the challenge has shifted from innovation to disciplined execution. ADAPT’s research indicates that foundational readiness and effective sequencing now determine whether technology investment delivers sustained value.

This report offers a horizon-based assessment of emerging technologies shaping enterprise modernisation over the next three years. It separates what is investment-ready today from what should be scaled next or deferred, based on maturity, dependency logic, and time-to-value.

Drawing on ADAPT’s cross-persona research, the report helps CIOs prioritise investments, reduce execution risk, and allocate capital with confidence.
