Europe Forecasts Tech Spending Exceeding €1.5 Trillion

Forrester forecasts Europe's technology spending will grow 6.3% in 2026, exceeding €1.5 trillion for the first time. The research attributes growth to double-digit investment in AI‑optimized servers, an 11% rise in software spending, surging cloud adoption, and heightened cybersecurity budgets, while EU policy including the 2026 Chips Act aims to foster 'AI made in Europe' and five AI gigafactories. This shift may reshape vendor and infrastructure choices across the region.
