Why attend the Business Transformation Index (BTI) 2025 launch event?
Tariff turmoil, cyberattacks and the humanity in AI. As politics, society and economics converge to produce more unknowns than answers, how are Ireland’s largest enterprises responding?
Join Expleo for the sixth edition of the exclusive BTI Event, where we launch our renowned annual report answering this question – and more – through the lens of 200 of the most influential business and IT decision-makers in Ireland.
The much-anticipated BTI 2025 shows that last year, 81% of enterprises scaled back digital transformation plans in response to market realignment, changes in business direction and project non-viability. It signalled the dawn of a new digital: a movement away from broad innovation towards a sharper, value-driven focus.
Sharpening the focus: where transformation goes next
- Economies in flux – Driving growth when 64% of leaders are preparing for a weaker global economy;
- AI’s double-edge disruption – While 98% of organisations have implemented AI, the confluence of humans and machines remains an unsolved puzzle; and
- The agile enterprise – How agility and responsiveness will be the marks of success in the year ahead
What awaits you
- Cutting-edge insights: Be among the first to gain a clear view of what’s next in Ireland’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
- Performance benchmarking: Evaluate your performance against other market players and gain expert advice into how agile transformation drives resilience and growth.
- Networking opportunities: Step away from the everyday, take a moment to think and connect with 100+ senior leaders.
