Big Four accounting firm EY on Sept. 10 launched EY Growth Platforms, an artificial intelligence solution powered by neurosymbolic AI, which merges the statistical nature of neural networks with the structured logic of symbolic reasoning, driving pattern recognition to deliver predictions and decisions that are practical, actionable, and grounded in real-world outcomes.
By combining machine learning with logical reasoning, EYGP enables organizations to uncover growth opportunities and change their commercial models for profitability.
“The neurosymbolic AI workflows that power EYGP consistently uncover hundred-million-dollar-plus growth opportunities for global enterprises, with the potential to enhance revenue,” EY said in a media release. “This represents a rapid development in enterprise technology—where generative AI and neurosymbolic AI combine to redefine how businesses create value. This convergence empowers enterprises to reimagine growth at impactful scale, producing outcomes that are traceable, trustworthy, and statistically sound.”
EYGP has enabled professionals at EY-Parthenon, the strategy and transactions consulting arm of the Big Four firm, help clients with their most complex strategic opportunities to realize greater value by reimagining their business from the ground up—including building and scaling new corporate ventures or executing high-stakes transactions.
“In today’s uncertain economic climate, leading companies aren’t just adapting—they’re taking control,” Mitch Berlin, EY Americas vice chair, EY-Parthenon, said in a statement. “EY Growth Platforms gives our clients the predictive power and actionable foresight they need to confidently steer their revenue trajectory. EY Growth Platforms is a game-changer, poised to become the backbone of enterprise growth.”
EYGP harnesses neurosymbolic AI to simulate real-time market scenarios and their potential impact, uncovering the most effective business strategies tailored to each client, EY said.
At the core of EYGP is a unified data and reasoning engine that ingests structured and unstructured data from internal systems, external signals, and data sets.
“Developed over three years, this robust solution is already powering proprietary AI applications and intelligent workflows for EY-Parthenon clients across the consumer product goods, industrials, and financial services sectors without the need for extensive data cleaning or digital transformation,” EY said.
According to the accounting firm, which is the third largest in the U.S. by revenue, EYGP is driving a measurable impact across industries, such as:
- Financial services: Neurosymbolic AI enhances underwriting, claims processing, and compliance with transparency and rigor, validating that decisions are aligned with regulatory standards and optimized for customer outcomes.
- Consumer products: Whether powering real-time recommendations, adaptive interfaces, or location-aware services, neurosymbolic AI drives hyperpersonalized experiences at a one-to-one level. By combining learned patterns with structured knowledge, it delivers precise, context-rich insights tailored to individual behavior, preferences, and environments.
- Industrial products: Neurosymbolic AI helps industrial conglomerates optimize the entire value chain—from sourcing and production to distribution and service. By integrating structured domain knowledge with real-time operational data, it empowers leaders to make smarter decisions—from facility placement and supply routing to workforce allocation tailored to specific geographies and market-specific conditions.
The launch of EYGP follows the appointment of Jeff Schumacher as the EYGP leader for EY-Parthenon. Schumacher brings more than 25 years of experience in business strategy, innovation, and digital disruption, having helped establish over 100 early growth companies. He’s the founder of neurosymbolic AI company Growth Protocol, the technology that EY has exclusive licensing agreement with.
“Neurosymbolic AI is not another analytics tool, it’s a growth engine,” he said. “With EY Growth Platforms, we’re putting a dynamic, AI-powered operating system in the hands of leaders, giving them the ability to rewire how their companies make money. This isn’t incremental improvement; it’s a complete reset of the commercial model.”
EYGP is currently offered in North America, Europe, and Australia. More information about EYGP can be found here.
