What is PwC’s Scale Programme all about?
Our Scale Programme supports AI-driven startups focused on sales and service excellence and internal process excellence. We help startups accelerate their growth by giving them access to our network of experts and connections.
What do both of our programmes entail?
The AI Sales and Service Excellence track is dedicated to AI-driven solutions in customer service and engagement, customer experience and strategy, customer analytics, pricing and sales
The AI Internal Process Excellence track focuses on AI-driven solutions in workplace productivity and collaboration, document automation and writing, IT and data management, workforce and operational efficiency.
This programme was crafted to bring together industry leaders and AI-driven startups to foster innovation. Whether you're looking to address challenges related to scaling or to connect with leading corporations, potential clients or partners, the Scale programme is right for you.
The programme will kick off in April 2024.

Join our alumni community
The PwC scale programme has brought a lot of new insights for us. We have had fantastic masterclasses ranging from how we organise our internal structure to how we go to market.
We learned a lot about how to engage with partners, how to raise funds etc, and we also got introduced to large food companies operating in the Benelux area.
This programme enables us to get to know startups in these fields and to hopefully work together with them.
