This follows PwC’s global strategic collaboration with Microsoft creating scalable offerings using Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Copilot for Microsoft 365 to help support clients in reimagining their organisations. PwC earlier in 2023 also invested, through its industry leading relationship with Microsoft, over €1bn globally to expand and scale artificial intelligence (AI) and drive human-led, tech-powered transformation.

Ambitious outcomes for businesses

Through the PwC Luxembourg GenAI Business Center, enabled by Microsoft, PwC is turning its AI experience and knowledge into business outcomes for its clients. The new Center will help boost GenAI adoption, driving the necessary investment returns in a safe and secure way. This comes at a time of huge opportunity for businesses but also at a time when technology needs to be applied with great responsibility.
