Celebrating

The Enterprise Tech 30 is where the tech industry discovers, evaluates, and connects with the most promising private companies in enterprise technology.

From the rise of the agentic developer to the explosion of AI agents, this year's ET30 captures the biggest shifts in enterprise technology.

The 2026 ET30 also highlights the vertical comeback, the emergence of voice AI, a shift to inference workloads, and the emergence of a new type of company gaining popularity: AI-native services businesses.
