Technology’s true power lies not in isolated wins, but in its cumulative impact. From AI and automation to cloud, cyber security, and green IT, each advancement compounds across the business, building momentum, shaping strategy, and driving transformation. The challenge for today’s technology leaders is not just adopting those new advancements, but harnessing the full potential of their current IT environments while evolving them to meet tomorrow’s demands.
Success now depends on the ability to adapt, innovate, and upskill continuously. It means aligning every new wave of technology with business strategy, governance frameworks, and budget realities, while managing change, refining processes, and ensuring adoption across the organisation, all while maintaining operational stability, security, and performance. The pressure is mounting, as always-on stakeholders raise expectations for faster, seamless digital experiences.
To turn momentum into measurable outcomes, the entire ecosystem must move together, data, platforms, security, and people, each adapting in sync with every new technology advancement. This is The Tech Effect: a layered, interconnected force that, when orchestrated well, becomes a competitive advantage.

It’s 2026, uncertainty is the default, AI is accelerating decisions, and “move fast” is back in fashion. But cyber risk doesn’t care about hype, it cares about exposure, likelihood, impact, and the strength of your controls. This session shows how modern Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) is shifting from periodic reporting to real time decision support. This means tailoring risk to ‘your’ business, translating technical signals into meaningful impact, and continuously reprioritising as threats and conditions change. You’ll leave with clearer choices, faster executive alignment, and a defensible way to invest where it actually reduces risk, without slowing innovation.

Choosing silicon as the foundation of modern technology directly determines the outcomes we see in innovation, security, and sustainability. Because silicon enables scalable computing, efficient AI models, and advanced energy systems, its availability and performance shape how fast economies grow and how resilient they become. As nations and industries double down on silicon-based infrastructure, the material itself influences who leads technologically, who controls critical supply chains, and how responsibly the digital future unfolds.
