Technology is the future, as they say. It always has been. But how do companies cope with all the new technologies being developed today?

‘Technologies such as AI and ChatGPT are currently developing at a fast pace. Blockchain, the metaverse and other developments are also transforming rapidly and I expect this to only accelerate further in the future. Exciting it may be but changes like this come with challenges for us at PwC, for our clients and for society as a whole.’

Christian Eistrup,PwC cloud and digital expert

It’s something that affects PwC itself and we also support our clients with challenges in this area.

‘Although each of us brings a unique expertise to the office, our strength lies in blending them together to create an accumulative effect. We work with each other in a way that is efficient, inclusive and respectful of new ideas. And the best thing we can offer our clients is having all these fields of expertise together in one package.’

In addition to new technologies and further digitalisation, ESG is also relevant to every organisation in both the short and the long term.

‘Sometimes we have private equity clients who have invested in a company for five years. And perhaps a company is not (yet) very involved in ESG or, in other words, not ESG-friendly enough. But the world will have changed in five years, so we have to stay on top for these companies, expand our efforts and provide advice on whether a company is interesting enough to invest in.’
