Summary
Agentic Artificial Intelligence represents a transformative leap for UK businesses of all sizes, offering autonomous systems that can execute complex tasks without constant human oversight. The applications include customer service, sales development and marketing automation, to automating entire workflows such as compliance checks, financial forecasting and personalising customer experiences at scale—delivering dramatic productivity gains and cost savings that can fundamentally reshape competitive advantage.
The US-UK Tech Prosperity Deal, signed in September 2025, secured a huge investment from Nscale, OpenAI, Microsoft and NVIDIA in the UK’s AI infrastructure which will accelerate the delivery of Agentic AI technology for UK businesses. By facilitating access to shared computing resources, large-scale datasets, and collaborative AI research programs between the two nations, the partnership ensures that British firms can develop and deploy Agentic AI solutions with the backing of world-class technology and expertise.
Our Agentic AI for Business Leaders Summit, which will take place in Central London on 20 January 2026, brings together the insights and connections UK business leaders need to capitalise on this significant next stage in AI deployment.
