Gartner’s 2026 Top CIO Priorities and Challenges for Europe

2026 will be defined by rapid pivots, realignments and shifting priorities — not traditional calendar-based planning.

This webinar provides a comprehensive look into European CIOs’ and technology executives’ priorities, highlighting the trends reshaping the technology landscape and the actions leaders need to take to navigate ongoing volatility.

Drawing on insights from 2,500 participants in the 2026 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey, the session examines how leaders are responding to economic uncertainty, constrained IT budgets, limited headcount growth and mounting pressure to deliver measurable business impact.
