Tech & Media Outlook 2026

Dave Hailey Partner and Head of Tech & Media

This year’s publication brings together insights from across the sector, providing analysis of AI adoption, cyber resilience, fundraising patterns, regulatory evolution, M&A trends, tax, talent strategies, and more.

The aim is simple: to offer a clear, honest view of the trends shaping the UK tech ecosystem in 2026, and practical prompts to help you plan, invest, and grow with confidence.

If 2025 was about recalibrating after the highs and volatility of previous years, 2026 is about positioning for sustainable growth.
