Trends in technology, innovation, and data protection for 2026

For 2026, trends in Technology, Innovation, and Data Protection are structured around five macro-themes: Governance, Privacy, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and Emerging Technologies. The outlook points to increased regulatory density, with advances in artificial intelligence, Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD), platform liability, and the protection of children and adolescents. The strengthening of cybersecurity, data sovereignty, and the expansion of data centers in Brazil also stand out. Technologies such as quantum computing will require early legal preparedness.

The 2026 landscape indicates a more robust and demanding regulatory environment, guided by prevention and accountability, with direct impacts on governance, privacy, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies.
