Future of Tech Adoption Survey: Closing the gap between digital appetite and strategy 

Published: 15 Dec 2025

By Justin Partington, Global Head of Fund and Asset Managers 

Private markets are in the midst of a meaningful digital shift, but while ambition is high, the gap between intention and execution is still evident. While many GPs have invested in automation, analytics and reporting tools, few believe they’re capturing the full value of those efforts. 

This raises important questions: How confident are firms in their digital progress? Where are the sticking points? Which areas stand to deliver the greatest operational lift?  

To answer these questions and more, IQ-EQ partnered with The Drawdown to deliver the Future of Technology Adoption Survey, which captures insights from GP respondents across the UK and Europe, collectively representing over $250 billion in AUM.  

The findings reinforce the fact that digital technologies are moving rapidly up the GP agenda, with particular focus on AI and investor-facing platforms. But with strategy lagging behind, firms must build the right structural frameworks, governance and resources to convert these ambitions into tangible competitive advantage.
