valantic Named Leading Provider of Data & AI Services in Lünendonk Study 2025/2026

Munich, December 5, 2025 – valantic has once again been recognized as one of Germany’s leading providers of Data & AI Services in the newly published Lünendonk Study 2025/2026 “The Market for Data & AI Services in Germany”. The independent market study analyzes the competitive landscape, market developments, and investment priorities in Data & AI and is widely regarded as a key benchmark for the German-speaking consulting and IT services sector.

Lünendonk highlights strong demand for holistic Data & AI services

According to the study, organizations across all major industries are accelerating investments in cloud-native data platforms, generative AI, AI agents, and automated processes. Data & AI service providers recorded an average growth of 13.2% in 2024, far above the overall IT services market.
At the same time, more than 90% of companies report a shortage of Data & AI experts, intensifying the need for experienced partners able to support strategy, engineering, and operations end-to-end.

In this environment, Lünendonk again lists valantic among the leading providers that offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary Data & AI portfolio, covering the full spectrum from data strategy and governance to platform engineering, advanced analytics, and AI operations.

valantic strengthens industry expertise and innovation capabilities

valantic is one of the leading digital and IT consultancies in the German-speaking region and supports organizations holistically on their journey towards becoming data-driven enterprises. The company has recently expanded both its industry footprint and technological expertise:

• In July 2025, valantic merged with SAP-Utilities specialist Utiligence, strengthening its position in the energy and utilities sector. This includes enhanced capabilities in SAP-Utilities transformations, grid digitalization, and the modernization of critical infrastructure.
• As a co-initiator of the Agentic Commerce Alliance, valantic is driving the development of open standards for agent-based AI processes in e-commerce—an emerging field expected to shape the next phase of intelligent customer interaction and automated value creation.

These strategic developments further expand valantic’s ability to support clients with advanced, scalable Data & AI solutions that align with industry-specific requirements.

A trusted partner for end-to-end Data & AI transformation

valantic’s portfolio reflects the increasing need for integrated services, from data and AI strategy development to cloud data platform design, implementation, and scalable AI operations.
