Logicalis APAC CIO Report 2026

Harnessing AI

IT Leadership in the next era of Enterprise Technology

Welcome to the 12th annual Logicalis APAC CIO Report 2026

Surveying over 300 CIOs across APAC

Our APAC CIO report highlights that while AI investment is accelerating, more than half of CIOs feel adoption is moving too quickly, leading to compromises on governance. As AI becomes integral to operations, APAC organisations must address these foundational risks and put in place responsible AI practices, to ensure innovation in the region remains trusted and reliable. Those that act now will be positioned well to harness the region’s fast‑moving AI market and lead the next wave of digital innovation.
