Dear Paul,

As we move into 2026, the pace of disruption across technology, media, and telecommunications continues to accelerate and the strategic choices you make today will define your competitive position tomorrow.

We're pleased to share Deloitte Australia's TMT Predictions 2026, our annual analysis of the most significant shifts reshaping the sector.

We've identified 13 actionable predictions across five critical themes, each contextualized for Australian market conditions and informed by our work with TMT leaders navigating similar challenges.

Five themes shaping TMT in 2026:
Software & Platforms
Software & Platforms: AI agents are transforming SaaS budgets and workflows, unlocking exponential value through orchestration. Gen AI in search engines is overtaking standalone tools.
Hardware & Semiconductors
Hardware & Semiconductors: AI will demand more computational power, driving robotics investment. Yet semiconductor supply chains grow more fragile amid sovereignty concerns.
Advertising, Publishing & Social Platforms
Advertising, Publishing & Social Platforms: Short-form serials empower independent studios while generative AI video could disrupt social platforms themselves. Streaming partnerships offer traditional TV a sustainability model.
Entertainment
Entertainment: Video podcasts dominate, creating brand opportunities while competing for traditional video ad dollars.
Communication Service Providers
Communication Service Providers: Next-gen satellite internet transforms pricing and regulation. Surprising insight: some users value rewards over network upgrades.
