On 24–25 September 2025, Amsterdam’s RAI will host TechEx Europe, comprising of more than 8,000 attendees and 250+ speakers in five focused tracks: IoT Tech Expo, Cyber Security & Cloud Expo, AI & Big Data Expo, Digital Transformation Week, and Data Centre Expo. For technology executives navigating digital transformation and long-term technology strategy, the gathering offers a view of how these disciplines cross-pollinate and evolve.
Why the event matters for decision-makers
Technology investments are spread between IT and other stakeholders. There are choices around cloud migration, AI adoption, IoT deployment, cybersecurity, privacy, sovereignty and data centre strategy, and these affect resilience and competitiveness. TechEx Europe provides C-suite leaders with many opportunities to examine issues through multiple lenses.
The co-location of the five events makes it possible to explore inter-dependencies and get discrete briefings. How does AI support transformation? How cloud security underpins or undermines trust, or how does data centre resilience shape service delivery?
