New Institute Harnesses the Expertise of BCG X's Data
Scientists and Engineers to Accelerate Scientific Breakthroughs in
Partnership with Universities, Industry Experts, and Leading
R&D teams
BOSTON, April 15,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BCG X, the tech, build, and
design division of Boston Consulting Group (BCG), today announces
the launch of its new AI Science Institute—leveraging BCG X's
expertise and talent, supported by a 3000+ person team, including
200+ PhDs, to accelerate scientific discovery in collaboration with
top R&D teams across leading industries and governments.
BCG's strategic investment in artificial intelligence is
propelling the firm's growth and driving value for businesses at
record speed. Leveraging this momentum, the BCG X AI Science
Institute will be a groundbreaking hub that brings the power of AI
to scientific research, discovery, and innovation—where
cutting-edge AI research, academic rigor, and real-world business
impact converge.
AI is rapidly reshaping the boundaries of what's achievable for
companies, organizations, and governments, and now it can help
slash R&D timelines from years to mere months—or even weeks—to
unlock insights once thought impossible in science and engineering.
By merging advances in artificial intelligence and computer science
with domain expertise across sectors, the institute will deliver
next-generation solutions and sustained competitive advantage for
industry leaders around the world.
"AI is at an inflection point. The mission of the BCG X AI
Science Institute is to deliver groundbreaking scientific and
engineering research powered by AI. Our experts will equip
companies with leading-edge AI capabilities and research-based
solutions to deliver tangible business impact," says Christoph Schweizer, BCG CEO.
AI-Powered Scientific Innovation
Under the global leadership of
Dr. Adi Zolotov
and director Dr. Leonid Zhukov, the Institute
will drive AI-powered scientific innovation across a wide range of
topics including: large-scale, quantum, and next-generation
computing, simulation, health care and bioinformatics,
machine learning, climate analytics, and beyond.
Anchored in strong collaborations with both academic
institutions and industry leaders, the Institute is dedicated to
advancing high-impact breakthroughs to help tackle some of the
toughest global challenges—including climate change, disease
treatment, and energy scarcity.
"BCG X is committed to science because BCG X is committed to
impact. Our ambition is to drive lasting impact with AI for
large companies. To build high-performing AI solutions for leading
organizations, our team needs to build on the latest research in
scientific innovation. The outcomes benefit everyone. Companies
gain a competitive advantage, and the scientific community reaps
the benefits of innovation at a pace and scale previously
unthinkable," says Sylvain Duranton,
global leader of BCG X.
