The Accelirate Industry Report argues that 2026 marks the shift from experimental automation to scaled, agentic intelligence, where autonomous systems plan, act, learn, and remain accountable with humans in oversight. It identifies seven key trends, including agent-centric operating models, domain-specific agentic solutions, measurable AI ROI within 12–18 months, multi-agent systems that collaborate to handle complex workflows, embedded governance and security, centralized “agentic command centers,” and the move from big data to real-time, context-rich data fabrics. The report highlights APJ as a global launchpad for agentic AI, driven by rapid investment, strong governance, and enterprise maturity. Overall, it concludes that winning organizations will move from automation-aware to agentic-intelligent by combining autonomy, orchestration, and governance to deliver faster decisions, lower costs, and resilient, ROI-driven transformation.
