Globant Reveals Key Tech Forces Shaping Business in 2026

Globant has released a new report that outlines the technological trends expected to drive enterprise transformation in 2026. Titled “Tech Trends 2026: The 5 Forces Shaping the Future,” the report analyzes the advancements that organizations must embrace to achieve sustainable growth and innovation.

The report emphasizes that businesses are moving beyond initial experimentation with artificial intelligence (AI) and are now focused on developing operational, scalable, and return on investment (ROI)-driven intelligence. Diego Tártara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant, stated, “2026 will be another year where companies across industries accelerate their own transformational journeys.” He noted that AI has shifted from being a buzzword to a tangible force for change, pushing organizations to rethink their operational strategies.

Five Forces of Transformation

According to the report, enterprises are now entering a phase where AI becomes integral to their operations. This shift is crucial as many AI pilots continue to struggle with scalability, highlighting a gap between experimentation and enterprise readiness. MIT research illustrates this gap in its study, “The GenAI Divide, State of AI in Business 2025.”

Globant identifies five key forces that will define the digital landscape in 2026. These include the rise of AI agents capable of executing tasks autonomously, advancements in quantum encryption, and the integration of AI-powered machines into everyday business processes. Companies that establish robust guidelines and governance frameworks are likely to witness measurable impacts from these innovations.

As enterprises evolve in the coming year, success will hinge on their ability to integrate these next-generation technologies seamlessly. Tártara stressed that organizations must view technological advancements as opportunities for deeper structural and cultural change rather than merely digital wins.

Strategic Implications for Enterprises

The report serves as a guide for decision-makers navigating the complexities of digital transformation. The insights shared by Globant underscore the need for enterprises to adopt a proactive approach. Companies that act on these insights will not only set the pace for their respective industries but also establish themselves as leaders in the next decade of technological evolution.

With over 29,000 employees across more than 35 countries, Globant has positioned itself as a leader in the digital transformation landscape. The company partners with industry giants such as Google, Riot Games, and Santander to deliver innovative solutions that drive measurable business results.

Globant has received accolades for its services, including being named a Worldwide Leader in Experience Design Services in 2025 and recognized as a leader in AI Services in 2023 by IDC MarketScape.
