State of Integration & AI

The European benchmark on automation, integration and AI adoption. Discover what moves the industry with insights from 600+ IT decision-makers across 6 countries. Watch the live streaming on May 7 and join one of our regional events in person.

Something is not adding up in European enterprise technology.

AI investment is at an all-time high and automation tools are everywhere. And yet, employees are still drowning in manual work and most AI projects are quietly failing to deliver a measurable return. While AI adoption in EU enterprises has grown to 20% in 2025, up from 13.5% in 2024, integration maturity has not kept pace.

In May 2026, Frends will launch Europe's most comprehensive benchmark report on Integration and AI. The report reveals a structural gap: organizations are investing in AI, but their fragmented integration architectures are blocking ROI and trapping employees in manual work. The true cost of this gap is the billions of euros in wasted labor spent on coordination, reconciliation and "work about work."

Join us for a live broadcast where we bring the report's findings to life with Europe's most senior technology leaders, journalists, researchers and industry pioneers. This is not a vendor event. It is a data-driven conversation between peers, anchored in research, shaped by real experience and designed to give every attendee something genuinely useful to take back to their organization.
