With the new organisation in place, focus is on meeting the growing need for expertise driven by AI and digital transformation, strengthening our commercial ability and gaining market share.

The second quarter developed in line with our expectations, given the demand trend we have seen over recent quarters. The market continues to be characterised by caution among many customers. We noticed a certain increase in order intake during the quarter, but it is too early to speak of a broad recovery in demand. At the same time, we have continued to invest in our commercial capability and AI positioning to strengthen our competitiveness in the long term.
