Frends launches the State of Integration & AI 2026, a new European benchmark report showing that knowledge workers lose the equivalent of one working day every week to manual tasks, costing a typical 1,000-employee business \u20ac10.7 million annually. Based on research conducted by Sapio Research across six European countries, the report also finds that only 26% of AI projects deliver measurable business impact, highlighting a growing gap between AI ambition and the operational foundations needed to turn it into results.<\/p> \n

Based on a survey of 611 IT and business decision-makers across Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, the State of Integration & AI 2026 report shows that a typical 1,000-employee European business loses \u20ac10.7 million annually to manual work. On average, knowledge workers spend 7.6 hours every week on repetitive tasks that could be automated, the equivalent of 44 full working days a year.<\/p> \n

At the same time, the report finds that only 26% of AI projects deliver measurable positive profit-and-loss impact. While AI investment is rising fast, most organizations are still struggling to turn that ambition into results at scale. 63% of organizations remain in the investigation or pilot stage, while only 7% have deployed AI widely across the organization.<\/p> \n
