The State of Agentic AI in European Procurement 2026
Europe’s AI agents arrived before its strategy did.
635 procurement leaders across six European markets told us where they actually stand on agentic AI. Most of them are running agents they cannot name.
It is no longer whether you use AI. It is whether you can account for it.
Ask a European procurement team whether they use AI and the answer is yes. Ask them to name every agent running across their workflows, who owns it, what it can reach, and what it cost last month, and the room goes quiet. The report puts a number on that silence, and it is larger than most leaders expect.
The biggest risk in enterprise AI is not proliferation. It is isolation. And isolation stays invisible until something goes wrong.
A read you can act on, not a pitch.
