The next generation of AI, thanks to quantum technology, is going to be far more impactful, reliable, accountable and valuable to every single one of us, according to a quantum computing expert. London Tech Week and its headliner event, The AI Summit London, was chock full of innovative sights and sounds and to this journalist, it was the ones around AI and quantum computing that really stole the show. Attending a technology conference and exhibition touted to be the most prominent in the United Kingdom, was a treat, even more so because of the iconic, historical and yet modern locations each were held at. Here are the technologies and trends which Enterprise IT News zoomed into during these two events: Quantum on the rise Ilyas Khan, the co-founder of quantum unicorn, Quantinuum, wanted to emphasise the emerging importance of quantum computing and its potential to revolutionise various fields. Ilyas described, “A very small number of people would have given any attention to it, and of course, here we are in the middle of 2025 and it’s on the verge of becoming what I consider to be an everyday topic, both in terms of government policy, in terms of the financial markets, but most important in terms of your day-to-day lives. “
The B2B Tech Events Recap: March till June 2025 Here is a recap of what Enterprise IT News, our sister publication as well as the publication arm of Acumen Intelligence, has been up to since March 2025 right up to this June. (Image caption: The entrance to London Tech Week’s venue at Olympia, Kensington). In early June, London was abuzz with highly anticipated technology events that saw B2B tech professionals and decision makers from all over the globe, converging at. To add another layer of meaningful activity was Enterprise IT News – Acumen Intelligence’s publication arm – that was also on-site at London Tech Week and The AI Summit Series to observe, interview, gather strategic knowledge and report! 2025 started off in a big way for Enterprise IT News with Tokyo IT Spring Week in March, and then Las Vegas in May, when Enterprise IT News attended Dell Technologies World 2025. We reported about companies that are in the business of pure intelligence, how AI will follow the data , and even how Dell as Customer Zero had transitioned their AI Factory portfolio to platform status. Data volume and data foundation are significant, and this was evident in Prague when Zscaler execs like Jay Chaudhry and Phil Tee talked about the data asset Zscaler owns which is crucial to enabling their vision of Agentic-powered SecOps. But before that, in London, EITN zoomed into topics which were on everyone’s lips: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and what NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang said about the UK’s supercomputing capabilities. (Stay tuned for an upcoming EITN chat with Dell’s professional services VP who shared about Dell’s collaboration with the UK on Project Dawn). Other significant themes that emerged throughout The AI Summit conference was the strategic deployment of AI to drive business value, rather than merely focusing on technological advancements. Aligning AI initiatives with clear business objectives, ensures that AI solutions are not just novel but also address specific problems and deliver tangible outcomes. This strategic approach underscores the necessity of integrating AI into business processes thoughtfully and effectively, highlighting the shift from experimental pilots to impactful production use cases. Besides these, other recurring themes at throughout all of these events include: The importance of data management and governance in the successful implementation of AI – there is a need for robust data architecture and governance frameworks to ensure systems operate securely and ethically. The role of AI in enhancing human capabilities and driving productivity – the integration of AI agents capable of reasoning, planning and executing tasks autonomously is an opportunity to streamline workflow and optimise resource use. Human oversight and collaboration in AI processes is stressed to ensure accountability and trust especially in high-risk areas like healthcare and finance. Collaboration and strategic partnerships were highlighted as crucial for scaling AI effectively. Building trusted partnerships with technology vendors, consulting firms, and industry stakeholders, for example. A collaborative approach leverages diverse perspectives and resources, driving successful integration and innovation. Mission accomplished: Setting the stage for exponential growth For Enterprise IT News , the mission of listening to global tech brands, gaining insights, and sharing their stories extend far beyond the months of March to June, or even cities like Tokyo, Las Vegas, London, and Prague. Many more such similar events are upcoming and we look forward to attending these happening at all corners of the globe, to report about the latest and greatest in cutting edge technology, best practices, trends, and thought leadership. If you have an event you’d like to highlight, drop us a DM, so we can get it on the radars of Acumen Intelligence, all our online and news properties, our readers, and our entire database. See you on the other side.
The next generation of AI, thanks to quantum technology, is going to be far more impactful, reliable, accountable and valuable to every single one of us, according to a quantum computing expert. London Tech Week and its headliner event, The AI Summit London, was chock full of innovative sights and sounds and to this journalist, it was the ones around AI and quantum computing that really stole the show. Attending a technology conference and exhibition touted to be the most prominent in the United Kingdom, was a treat, even more so because of the iconic, historical and yet modern locations each were held at. Here are the technologies and trends which Enterprise IT News zoomed into during these two events: Quantum on the rise Ilyas Khan, the co-founder of quantum unicorn, Quantinuum, wanted to emphasise the emerging importance of quantum computing and its potential to revolutionise various fields. Ilyas described, “A very small number of people would have given any attention to it, and of course, here we are in the middle of 2025 and it’s on the verge of becoming what I consider to be an everyday topic, both in terms of government policy, in terms of the financial markets, but most important in terms of your day-to-day lives. “ The burning question remains, “What is it that quantum computing is going to do that is making it so interesting for such a wide variety of people all over the world?” Ilyas also thought that the industry is, if not a few years away then a year or two away from the conversation about AI incorporating quantum. “There is not a country anywhere that does not have a quantum programme, a set of initiatives that in many instances stretch back many, many years.” Ilyas also opined that the hype cycle for quantum computing hasn’t even started yet, and suggests that more investments are likely to come in the near future. Hardware, compute power, and tipping point When we talk about AI, we are talking about our ability to utilise underlying hardware. So, if the GPU revolution hadn’t happened, we wouldn’t be talking about ChatGPT or Anthropic or Cohere, today. This aligns with what quantum hardware like super computers are anticipated to enable and the next generation of AI thanks to quantum technology, is going to be far more impactful, reliable, accountable and valuable to every single one of us, Ilyas believed. Could the quantum tipping point have happened this year? Ilyas thinks so with the commitment of large organisations and countries to large deals. One notable example is Quantinuum’s foray into Qatar, via a joint venture with Al Rabban Capital, a USD1 billion joint venture deal which may be the largest single quantum computing deal, to date. According to a United States White House fact sheet, the Quantinuum – Al Rabban venture is aimed at building next-gen quantum capabilities inside the US, as well as training and workforce development. A later agreement with Invest Qatar, sees the investment promotion agency of Qatar supporting Quantinuum’s recently announced expansion into the region. Ilyas spent the rest of his presentation diving into how quantum computers can solve complex problems that classical computers would balk at, as well as potential quantum applications in personalised medicine, drug discovery, and understanding biological processes. Oxford Ionics, a British quantum computing unicorn company that was recently acquired, highlighted the UK’s leadership in quantum computing and suggested that there is a growing trend of investment in quantum technologies. “In my considered opinion, the hype cycle hasn’t even started. If we think we are excited about AI, quantum computing takes it to a different level, Ilyas said. SaaS Stifling Innovation – the buy or build conundrum The tug-of-war between buying or building applications is as old as time. It was a panel topic with panellists from CIBC Europe, a major North American financial institution with global presence, and Evri, one of the UK’s largest parcel delivery companies. Both reps from CIBC and Evri confessed to moderator Nikki Dean that SaaS is not stifling innovation. CIBC’s Sean Duffy explained that an organisation which tries to innovate internally, can find the experience “really difficult because the large organisations tend to strangle it and exert too much process and control over it.” “My gut feel is it’s better to push it further out, which comes with its own problems too because of the lack of (vested interest).” He recommended organisations to put the right controls in place before pushing it further ‘out’. “I’ve seen that work better and that’s mainly from the experience of being in large banks and large insurance companies.” Meanwhile, Evri’s Marcus Hunter shared that his top priority is to ensure “things are scalable, app-based, and available. So, that’s where the buying comes in because software-as-a-service has the foundation to provide that. That’s where I will lean on SaaS for innovation.” That said, the option to build can arise when there is intellectual property to maintain as well as sensitive data involved. Innovating internally is “really difficult because the large organisations tend to strangle it and exert too much process and control over it.” – Sean Duffy The panel discussion arrived at the overall conclusion that SaaS is a powerful tool for innovation when strategically implemented, with careful consideration of organisational needs and constraints. The UK wants to be an AI Maker NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s comments continued to reverberate throughout The AI Summit event for over 48 hours after he made them during London Tech Week. This is the kind of impact that hardware like GPUs will have on AI development. At the Headliners Stage, Feryal Clark, the Undersecretary of State for AI and Digital Government had a good chat with Reuters’ Editor-in-Chief Axel Threlfall, to unpack AI announcements by Chancellor Rachel Reeves as well as Jensen’s comment that, “UK has a great AI ecosystem, but it lacks supercomputing power.” Feryal pointed out that the UK is the third largest market for AI in the world and that the raft
Intelligence and architecture at the core of Dell Technologies World 2025 Sitting among the audience during the Day 1 keynote of Dell Technologies World 2025 (DTW 2025), it became clear to this journalist that the guest speakers sharing the stage with Michael Dell are all in the business of pure intelligence. JP Morgan’s Larry Feinsmith shared how his company is exploring AI agent orchestration, while Lowe’s Seemantini Godbole discussed equipping sales associates with AI-powered access to expertise beyond their speciality. Data intelligence forms the core of their operations. Michael Dell had also emphasised that “AI will follow the data” before introducing Larry as someone who “embraces an AI-augmented future for the enterprise” and was “putting the data to work.” Companies in the business of pure intelligence As a financial institution handling $10 trillion in daily payments, JP Morgan operates in over 100 markets globally with more than 300,000 employees. “This requires us to build and deliver technology at scale,” Larry noted, adding that the firm had announced an $18 billion tech budget that would likely fund their main priorities: delivering best-in-class digital experiences for clients and employees by leveraging their exabyte of data with AI capabilities integrated throughout. This requires modern, resilient, and scalable architecture, which is where Dell fulfils its role as it has done for the past 30 years. New infrastructure requirements A conversation between NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Michael Dell revealed their thoughts about the hardware required to power AI in organisations and potentially worldwide. Both anticipate AI agents augmenting the human workforce in areas like cybersecurity, software engineering, marketing, sales, operations, forecasting, and supply chain management. Besides working with cloud service providers and “new GPU cloud companies focused on AI native startups and AI native cloud companies,” Jensen mentioned that NVIDIA is preparing for one of their largest opportunities: enterprise AI. “These are companies essentially building a digital workforce of AI agents… some want to do it in the cloud, but many want to do it on-premises.” Michael noted that with substantial data being created at the edge or on endpoint devices, customers increasingly want to bring AI to the data rather than the reverse. “All these new capabilities require significant innovation.” He claimed that together with improvements in compute, storage, and networking, the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, version 2.0, can help address these new requirements. New architecture and form factors Michael Dell predicts these AI factories will grow from thousands today to millions in coming years, calling it an “intelligence explosion.” With AI-optimised servers, advanced networking solutions, high-performance file systems, and data management tools, the AI Factory was conceptualised to make AI accessible as well as scalable to enterprises. When companies use their proprietary data and express it in an AI agent, they are expanding their ability to express their competitive advantage. Michael Dell “This is unquestionably the single biggest platform shift, and we talk about how every layer of the computing tech stack gets reinvented,” said Jensen. “The over 500,000 enterprise companies worldwide that have built their IT and data centres over the last 30 years have built them in the old way.” “And they need to be brought into today’s world of AI.” But Jensen rightly observed legacy environments within enterprises that might slow down wide-scale deployment of AI factories. So, what if there is a way to close the hardware and processing power gap while meeting an emerging trend for localised computing, while not taking up too much space? During GTC Spring 2025, NVIDIA introduced the DGX Spark, a small form factor that belies the AI power and benefits it can bring to AI ecosystems. Despite its compact size, DGX Spark will enable developers, researchers, data scientists, and students to accelerate generative AI workloads. Powered by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell platform, DGX Spark will allow developers to prototype, finetune, and run inference on the latest generation of reasoning AI models and seamlessly deploy them to data centres or the cloud. New expression AI isn’t the product but it can power an organisation’s purpose. Both Jensen and Michael observed how customers over the years, have created intelligence with their proprietary data to enhance their businesses. Michael concluded, “When companies use their proprietary data and express it in an AI agent, they are expanding their ability to express their competitive advantage.” (This journalist attended DTW 2025 as a guest of Dell Technologies).
