“AI has become the new technological frontier, its full scope remains uncertain, yet global powers are fiercely competing for dominance. The United States and China are making massive investments and Europe is sharpening its digital edge. At the heart of this dynamic landscape, Switzerland stand out as a leader in AI adoption in Europe with 82% of Swiss knowledge workers using AI, surpassing the global average of 75%.
While some industries are rapidly embracing AI, others proceed more cautiously, weighing opportunities against ethical, security, and implementation challenges. As AI continues to expand, CEOs and CIOs must develop a clear roadmap. The question is no longer if AI will transform their sector, but rather how to leverage it to create sustainable value.
Long before the rise of generative AI tools, Ivy Partners proactively integrated AI and data into its service offerings. Our vision is clear: AI is not a trend but a strategic enabler. We have built specialized AI and Data teams, combining industry expertise with technological innovation. Through partnerships with industry leaders such as Pulsifi and Dataiku, we help our clients adopt and implement AI to drive growth.
Integrating AI for Smarter, Scalable Growth
For example, in the financial and insurance sectors, we support Swiss clients in modernizing their IT infrastructure through AI-driven cloud migration. The results: reduced operational costs, enhanced compliance, and better resource allocation for claims management.
In the luxury watchmaking industry, we leverage AI to provide real-time market insights, optimize production planning, and enable hyper-personalized services for a demanding clientele.
In human resources, for instance, we support several clients in their digital transformation by automating repetitive tasks and optimizing talent management through AI-driven strategies.
These initiatives demonstrate a fraction of AI’s tangible impact, with applications that are virtually limitless. As this technological revolution accelerates, it is essential to keep humans at the center of the transformation. AI should be embraced for what it truly is: a tool to enhance – not replace – human intelligence. This philosophy guides us as we explore the frontiers of AI in service of our clients.“
