Search ArticlesTravel Operators Can’t Just Watch as AI Reroutes the Customer Journey
Operators of hotels, resorts, theme parks, and cruises succeed by making their customers feel welcome, looked-after, and alive. It’s therefore understandable that they are often cautious about adopting technology that might make their customer experience less human. When it comes to AI adoption, however, there’s a real danger that operators will suffer strategic damage if they don’t move fast enough.
Once-in-a-Century Transformation: How China’s Industrial Flywheel Is Reshaping Global Innovation
China’s story is often told as two separate chapters: one about manufacturing scale and another about innovation. In reality, the two are closely connected. Over the past four decades, China has built one of the world’s deepest industrial bases. Along the way, it has accumulated the engineering talent, end-to-end supply chain depth, and execution capabilities needed to industrialize innovation.
Why This Is Clinical Development’s Defining Moment
The model for clinical development is structurally incompatible with the direction of the industry. Consider that 53% of current phase 2 and 3 trials are delayed, according to a recent Bain & Company survey of 120 sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), and trial site professionals. Most say trials are more complex than they were three years ago. And 76% expect complexity to increase over the next three years, whereas only 2% foresee relief.
Software Investing in the Age of AI and Slower Growth
This article is part of Bain’s Technology Report 2026 If software investing has delivered anything to private equity investors so far in 2026, it is the disquieting certainty that the world has changed—probably forever. Revenue growth that was running around 20% annually is now trending at half that. Net revenue retention (NRR) has dropped about 9 points since 2021 (see Figure 1). Dealmaking is at a crawl. Aging portfolios are suddenly a thing in tech investing.
New Innovation Is Required to Fund AI’s $6 Trillion Buildout
This article is part of Bain’s Technology Report 2026 The unprecedented speed and scale of the AI buildout, with billions flowing into chips, data centers, networks, and power systems, have focused attention on the challenge of building capacity. But the more important question may be whether enough economic value can be created to justify it. Consider the scale of investment and the gap between that and the revenue model necessary to fund it.
Cybersecurity’s New AI Imperative: Attacking the Backlog of Vulnerability Alerts
This article is part of Bain’s Technology Report 2026 Most businesses will know that AI has made cyberattacks faster and more powerful. High-profile incidents, notably involving frontier AI model tests, have illustrated the pressure being put on organizational defenses that are designed to operate at the speed of human decisions, not the quicksilver rapidity of AI automation.
AI Data Center Boom: Can We Build It If They Come?
This article is part of Bain’s Technology Report 2026 Data centers powering AI have rapidly become a new layer of critical infrastructure worldwide that are central to technology innovation, economic growth, and national sovereignty. US capital investment in data centers as a share of GDP now rivals what it spent building its railroads, telecom networks, and electrical grid: generational projects. The data center boom is moving faster.
The $100-Billion SaaS Opportunity Hiding in Cross-System Labor
This article is part of Bain’s Technology Report 2026 Generative and agentic AI are reshaping software as a service (SaaS), compressing some workflows, enhancing others, and in certain cases cannibalizing them entirely. (See our recent brief "Will Agentic AI Disrupt SaaS?" for our take on the offensive and defensive priorities SaaS leaders should set.) But market disruption is only half the story.

Healthcare IT Investment: Stability and Growth in the Face of “SaaSpocalypse” Fears
Providers and payers faced different macro pressures in the first half of 2026 but arrived at the same conclusion: Technology is critical to improving operations but must be able to pay for itself—and quickly. Providers remain capacity constrained and understaffed, with median operating margins hovering in the low single digits (with even greater pressure in rural systems). In parallel, payers are responding to significant margin pressures of their own.
