‘Reimagine our digital future’

Building on the success of previous editions, EY Engage 2025, Malta’s premier technology leaders’ forum, will take place on June 20 at the Intercontinental Arena, St Julian’s.

The full-day conference will bring together EY thought leaders, global technology alliance partners and senior business executives to explore the latest trends shaping the digital and AI-driven economy.

Engage will feature plenary sessions, interactive breakout discussions and networking opportunities designed to equip attendees with the insights and strategies needed to drive enterprise-wide transformation.

As technology evolves, so must an organisation’s approach to digital transformation. This year, EY Engage 2025 will delve into how the latest advancements in artificial intelligence − particularly the rise of ‘Agentic AI’ − are changing the way organisations operate.

Agentic AI moves beyond simply exposing insights or automating routine tasks. It anticipates needs, makes informed decisions and autonomously takes actions, fundamentally reshaping business processes, customer experiences and operational efficiency.

Enterprise IT transformation is critical for organisations aiming to leverage the full potential of Agentic AI. Re-architecting and modernising the IT landscape allows businesses to support advanced AI capabilities, ensure scalability, enhance security and maintain operational agility. Organisations that proactively invest in modernising their IT infrastructure will be better positioned to adapt and thrive in an increasingly autonomous AI-driven future.

Technology leaders must consider the key trends that will surely have an impact on the digital fabric of any organisation including:

Agentic AI: Enabling autonomous virtual workforce agents to assist and augment human roles, requiring robust governance frameworks.

Innovation and technology are no longer optional

AI governance platforms: Ensuring ethical, transparent  and accountable use of AI to build organisational trust and compliance.

Disinformation security: Protecting organisational integrity and security through advanced fraud detection and adaptive trust models.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC): Preparing IT infrastructure for security challenges posed by quantum computing.

Hybrid computing: Combining various computational approaches to tackle complex challenges, driving transformative innovation.
