AI Adoption Is Global. Delivery Capacity Is Not

EU 20%

of EU enterprises with 10+ staff used AI in 2025, up from 13.5%. Finland reached 37.8%

Eurostat
UK 57%

of surveyed UK firms report technical AI skills gaps; specialist AI job postings hit 180k in 2025

UK DSIT; PwC, 2026
US 37%

of US firms with 250+ staff use AI, and 32% of those with 100–249

US Census Bureau, period to May 2026
Global 88%

of organisations use AI in at least one function, yet only 7% have fully scaled it

McKinsey, The State of AI, Nov 2025

From the EU to the world, the bottleneck is delivering funded projects, not enthusiasm for AI.

Our core markets are the EU, UK and US. Figures measure adoption, skills gaps and scaling; surveys are not directly comparable.

Who We Work With

Organisations of roughly 100 to 2,000 people with a technical sponsor and a funded backlog.

Industrial OEMs and Equipment Manufacturers

Operational data exists, but integration and model deployment are blocked

Engineering or Digital Director

Industrial Software and Automation Vendors

Customers want AI features, but the product team lacks specialist capacity

CTO, VP Product

R&D Consortia and Engineering Firms

A funded work package needs specialist modelling, integration or validation

Programme Director, Research Lead

Mid-Market Manufacturers

A successful pilot needs deploying across plants or assets

CIO, Digital Transformation Director

Consultancies and Systems Integrators

AI work has been won and needs a dependable delivery partner

Practice Lead, Delivery Director
