Our dedicated technologists and industry specialists can help you create and implement a strategy that takes advantage of what we call the "Essential Eight” emerging technologies that we believe to be the most relevant and will potentially have the greatest impact in the next five years.

The difference we deliver to clients

PwC’s data scientists, engineers and business strategists are the engine powering the cutting-edge solutions that solve today’s challenges and help you prepare for what’s next. Innovation is really business innovation, but requires technology for differentiation and scale. Innovation is not a destination, it’s a journey.

Capabilities

Innovation doesn’t have to be game changing to change the game for your business. No matter how big or small your idea is – if it’s for your customers or employees, or if it’s for one business unit or the entire enterprise – we can help you scale it to drive tangible business outcomes. We partner with universities, startups and other deep technical experts to close the gap between what is now and what is next.

Generative AI

Generative AI will revolutionize industries and build entirely new markets and opportunities. To capitalize on the opportunities GenAI presents, businesses must prioritize a responsible approach to AI and incorporate trust by design in everything they do. We deliver GenAI outcomes, using a standards-based approach to enterprise GenAI architecture and a proven factory model for scale, speed and efficiency. Learn more about our approach.

Artificial Intelligence

AI today is no longer the exclusive domain of data scientists and software engineers. Traditional knowledge workers everywhere are using it — anyone can create content using simple human text-based prompts. AI’s potential to deliver value keeps growing and many types of AI are already being used responsibly and at scale across organizations to help solve everyday challenges.

Blockchain

Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that maintains data through a peer-to-peer network of computers. Although it was originally developed to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions, blockchain has expanded to other capabilities. From verifying ownership of digital assets like NFTs to tracking items in a supply chain, its versatility can drive innovation and support business transformation.

Digital assets and crypto

Crypto and other digital assets are here to stay. Developing a strategy can prepare your company not only for today, but for the future of digital assets. Learn more about digital assets and what these mean for your businesses.

Quantum computing

Quantum computing derives its immense power by using the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Recent advances in quantum computing’s building blocks (quantum bits or “qubits”) are making the technology increasingly relevant to business.

Web3

Web3 represents the next chapter in the evolution of the internet. New products, services and business relationships will arise from web3. Using technology such as blockchain, web3 introduces new ownership, incentives and community models. Business leaders should begin to formulate a web3 strategy and begin experimenting with the framework. Get started.
