Astek

💣 1,000,000 FOLLOWERS!! 1,000,000 reasons to keep pushing forward! 💚 A huge thank you to our global community for growing, learning and innovating with us.

R&D is entering a defining moment. For years, the dominant narrative has been that innovation cycles are slowing, budgets tightening, and execution taking precedence over exploration. But here’s the question every leader should ask today: ▪️If innovation is supposedly slowing down… why are global organisations accelerating investment in #DeepTech, #CloudNative, #AIEngineering and #SustainableTech? ▪️And more importantly: What does this mean for the next three years — and for the companies who don’t adapt? This is not a trend report, it’s a lens on how R&D is redefining competitiveness, talent attraction, and technological sovereignty. If you want to understand where innovation is really going, and whether your organisation is moving fast enough, you’ll want to read this one.

At #Astek, we believe that technological innovation only makes sense if it helps build a sustainable future. That’s why our greenhouse gas reduction targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (#SBTi) confirming both the strength of our #climatestrategy and our alignment with the Paris Agreement. But validation is just the beginning. For us, #climateaction isn’t a side project, it’s a transformation driver that reshapes how we design, deliver, and operate technology across 12 countries. ✅ -59% emissions #reduction by 2034 ✅ Carbon #neutrality by 2050 Because the real challenge isn’t just to reduce: it’s to reinvent. Our network of #CarbonAmbassadors helps every Astek entity adapt its roadmap to local realities, turning global ambition into tangible change. Sustainability is now a key indicator of performance. By integrating science-based goals into our strategy, we’re building a model where #innovation and #responsibility fuel each other, and where tech leads the transition.

💭 The #Finance sector is at a turning point. Between #AI regulation, #CyberSecurity pressure, and #CloudSovereignty requirements, financial institutions are learning that resilience is no longer a compliance checkbox. It’s an engineering challenge. At Astek, we believe the future of #Banking, #Finance & #Insurance will be built on systems where trust is measurable, explainable, and scalable. In this month’s edition, we explore: ▪️Why financial systems remain fragile despite massive tech investment ▪️How AI, cloud and security can truly coexist ▪️And how engineering excellence can turn compliance into a source of competitiveness 📘 Read the full article and give us your thoughts!

Cloud-native isn’t a trend anymore, it’s the foundation of #DigitalTransformation. But success goes far beyond “lift-and-shift.” The real challenges: ✔ #FinOps & cost volatility — 94% of IT leaders struggle to optimize spend (TechRadar 2025). ✔ #DevSecOps at scale — requires standardized paths, self-service platforms, and strong developer experience (#PlatformEngineering, DORA 2024). ✔ #CyberSecurity & compliance — supply chain and multi-cloud risks are multiplying. ✔ #Sustainability — with the SCI standard (ISO/IEC 21031:2024), #CarbonAware design is now a KPI. 👉 Explore more in our September Tech Focus: how #CloudNative engineering accelerates transformation, and what it really takes to make it work.
