Reflecting over the past four years since the Covid-19 pandemic, there undoubtedly has been some turbulence. In the world of data and IT, we saw the massive tech bubble of 2021/22, followed by painful redundancies in 2023 as the world tried to reset itself.

2024 is expected to be a year of changes, with elections in major world economies like India & the U.S., potential escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, more experimentation from Gen AI, and regulatory upheaval with new AI Acts expected to be adopted across the EU.
