Emerging technology

New technologies are disrupting business as usual.

Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and the internet of things are rapidly reshaping our world and evolving at breakneck speed. PwC can help you to better understand and put these technologies to work, so that you can be the disruptor, not the disrupted. We work with you to research, co-create, prototype, test, and deploy new services and solutions powered by the latest technological advancements.

We have identified "The Essential Eight" technologies that matter the most for businesses today. In China, we focus our research and development to support our clients on AI, Blockchain and IoT.

How can PwC emerging technologies help?

China is arguably the most exciting location for emerging technologies, where new business models evolve every day. We have tailored our services to work with our corporate and startup clients to reshape the business landscape in different industries, and to create value by introducing new services to the customers and disruptions to the status quo.
