AI has moved from experimentation to a CEO‑level priority. The challenge now is converting AI investment into measurable business outcomes—efficiency today and growth tomorrow.
For organisations in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond, scaling AI takes coordinated, enterprise‑wide approaches. That’s how AI ambition turns into real performance.
Jakub Borowiec
Partner, Analytics & AI Leader, PwC CEE | Poland
“In CEE, where innovation meets resilience, AI is a catalyst for smarter growth. AI enhances human ingenuity. The technology doesn’t make you less of a thinker or a problem solver—it helps you to be more effective and saves you time.”
Marcin Sidelnik
Partner, Digital Transformation Leader, PwC CEE | Poland
“AI isn’t just a tool. It’s a transformation engine. We’ve adopted AI internally to reimagine how we work, making us our own ‘client zero’. We’re embedding AI into our daily operations to deliver faster, smarter outcomes. In CEE, this internal adoption is the foundation for helping our clients lead their own technology-driven transformations.”

Case studies
We worked with a health insurance client to create a strategic AI framework to capitalise on the technology’s potential.
We worked with an automotive client to build in-house AI capabilities. We set up teams, defined roles and developed backlog management processes. Through our Responsible AI Toolkit, we collaborated with our client to deliver a reshaped AI strategy.
We developed a roadmap to strengthen governance and support consistent decision‑making across AI, data, and cybersecurity initiatives.
We supported our client in bridging the gap between pilot proof of concept (PoC) projects and full-scale AI implementation.
We worked with our client to assess their AI governance maturity against challenges related to both new emerging risks and upcoming regulatory requirements. The project provided a comprehensive review of organisational-level practices and offered tailored recommendations for further development.
