VC Activity in Q3 2026

Is the natural gas glut coming, and how long will it last? At the launch of the Gas Market Outlook 2026, GlobalData’s analysts present their outlook to 2035 and the infrastructure constraints that will decide the answer, built by combining detailed demand modeling with proprietary asset-level data on fields, LNG plants, and pipelines.

The corporate banking industry approaches 2027 at a critical inflection point, as macro headwinds, trade volatility, and liquidity pressures demand a structural rethink of operations and client engagement. AI is moving beyond experimentation and embedding directly into corporate workflows, transforming relationship management, decision intelligence in commercial lending, and trade finance. At the same time, APIs are evolving from simple integration tools into essential rails for AI agents and agentic B2B commerce.

As the transformation to digital money advances through tokenized deposits and stablecoins, transaction banks face a fragmented payments landscape marked by multiplying rails and higher execution complexity. To compete, corporate banks must modernize their infrastructure, leverage strategic platforms, and manage rising cyber and technology risks.

Are you ready to move from isolated innovation to intelligent, resilient corporate banking operations at scale?

Insurers enter 2027 under pressure to modernize their data foundations, adopt AI responsibly, and rethink the economics of legacy transformation. Carriers are increasing their use of high-frequency data, AI-enabled integration, and decision automation while continuing to rely on established analytics and models for explainable risk selection, pricing, reserving, and regulatory defensibility.

In this context, AI is also changing how customers research, compare, and purchase insurance, as well as how carriers deliver service, manage claims, and support distribution. As insurers separate systems of record from increasingly agentic orchestration layers, they must balance configurable platforms, incremental modernization, and AI-assisted development with strong controls, data lineage, human oversight, and auditability.

What’s next in the future of insurance? How will the industry look like in 2030?
