Intelligent Autonomy
As global enterprises shift from digital acceleration to autonomous intelligence, a new frontier emerges — one defined by trust, sovereignty, and resilience by design. At the World Economic Forum 2026, HCLSoftware invites you to explore this future and experience how ethical, explainable, and sovereign autonomy will reshape how organizations operate, decide, and secure value at scale.
Our 2026 theme, Intelligent Autonomy, reflects the convergence of cybersecurity, Service-as-Software, digital sovereignty, Agentic AI, and data intelligence. Together, they form the foundation of the Intelligent Autonomous Enterprise.
Join Us at the HCLSoftware Lounge
Promenade 66, Davos | January 19–23, 2026

Throughout the week, our pavilion serves as a hub for bold conversations, live demonstrations, and executive exchanges centered on the future of software, sovereignty, and AI-driven outcomes.
Discover how organizations can build sovereign-by-design digital systems, accelerate value with Service as Software, and operationalize Agentic AI to create secure, interoperable, self-evolving enterprises. From global public infrastructure to next-generation enterprise platforms, we reveal how experience, data, and operations converge through the XDO Blueprint to deliver trusted, real-time autonomy at scale.

Featured Session of WEF 2026
The Sovereign Digital Fabric: Building Trust and Interoperability in the Age of Public Infrastructure
January 21st, 2026 (Wednesday) –9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Location- 1st Floor, Promenade 66, HCLTech Pavilion
As the world moves toward a multi-polar digital order, nations and enterprises are reclaiming control of data, infrastructure, and digital policy. This panel examines how trusted interoperability, rather than just connectivity, becomes the new enabler of economic resilience.
The conversation will cut through buzzwords to focus on what actually needs to change: zero-trust security for sovereign systems, compliance-by-design, sovereign-by-design AI, and hybrid public–private architectures that support interoperability rather than fragmentation. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of how to design and govern secure, compliant, and globally connected sovereign digital ecosystems.
Key Topics:
- A multipolar digital world: sovereignty without fragmentation
- Guardrails of trust: security, compliance & ‘sovereign-by-design’ AI
- From control to competitiveness: architectures for a sovereign yet open economy
- The next decade: principles, partnerships & execution
Exclusive WEF 2026 Fireside Chats
01 / 02
Fireside Chat #1 — With Kalyan Kumar
“Intelligent Service as Software, Not Static Software”
Glass Box, January 19th, 2026 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Software has become the most inflationary line in the enterprise budget — ballooning subscriptions, rising licensing complexity, and vendor-driven lock-in that often delivers diminishing returns. In this intimate fireside discussion, KK reframes the issue entirely, asking a simple but transformative question:
What if enterprises paid for outcomes, not options?
This session explores:
- The shift from static features to intelligent, adaptive, agentic services
- How policy-as-code, agentic AI, and autonomous orchestration reshape enterprise value
- Why Service-as-Software (SaS) aligns cost to measurable performance and shared accountability
- How HCLSoftware is uniquely positioned to operationalize this model today, not tomorrow

Fireside Chat #2 — With Rajiv Shesh
“Own Your Data, Own Your Outcomes”
Glass Box, January 19th, 2026 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm
Data intelligence isn’t about gathering more — it’s about transforming data into secured, contextual, real-time action. In this candid fireside conversation, Rajiv explains why most enterprise intelligence fails: data is siloed, ungoverned, and detached from execution.
He outlines how agentic AI, interoperable data fabrics, and sovereignty-first architectures reshape enterprise performance for the next decade.
This session highlights:
- Why sovereignty must extend from infrastructure to data, pipelines, and decisioning
- How real-time data fabrics slash time-to-decision and reduce risk
- Why enterprises must control their keys, residency rules, and data mobility
- How HCLSoftware enables trusted, governed, autonomous data ecosystems

Tech Trends 2026
HCLSoftware Tech Trends 2026 provides a strategic guide for business and technology leaders who need to cut through hype and focus on the technology shifts that will genuinely shape their digital plans in 2026 and beyond. Based on 7–8 months of research, sentiment analysis, and a survey of over 173 CXOs, VPs, and Directors, the report outlines 13 technology megatrends across four themes—Cognition & Compute, Experience & Engagement, Resilience & Responsibility, and Frontiers & Foundation—showing where each stands on the innovation–adoption curve. It highlights real-world use cases already gaining momentum, identifies the capabilities and risks organizations must address before scaling, and helps leadership teams test their existing plans, select a few priority bets, and align business and technology stakeholders around an evidence-based digital roadmap.
