(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 11-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY) has unveiled its new EY Growth Platforms (EYGP), a pioneering solution built on neurosymbolic AI designed to reshape how enterprises identify and seize growth opportunities. By integrating machine learning with symbolic reasoning, the platform empowers companies to discover new commercial models that can unlock multimillion-dollar revenue streams while maintaining transparency and reliability in decision-making.

This marks a leap forward in enterprise technology, where the strengths of generative AI are combined with the structured precision of neurosymbolic AI. The result is a system that enables organizations to reimagine growth strategies at scale with outcomes that are measurable, credible and trustworthy.

EY Growth Platforms is set to enhance the work of EY-Parthenon by supporting clients in addressing their most complex strategic challenges. From scaling innovative ventures to navigating high-stakes transactions, the platform equips businesses with the tools to reinvent their models and achieve greater value creation.

“In today’s volatile market environment, leaders aren’t just adapting—they’re reshaping the rules,” said Mitch Berlin, EY Americas Vice Chair, EY-Parthenon. “With EY Growth Platforms, companies gain predictive insights and actionable foresight to redefine their growth trajectory. This solution is positioned to be a foundation for enterprise expansion.”

How the platform works
Neurosymbolic AI brings together the adaptive learning of neural networks with the structured reasoning of symbolic logic. This unique combination allows EYGP to simulate market scenarios and assess potential outcomes, delivering strategies that are not only innovative but also practical and grounded in data-driven insights. Unlike conventional generative AI, EYGP functions as a growth operating system capable of addressing complex go-to-market hurdles and generating scalable revenue solutions.

Central to the platform is a unified data and reasoning engine developed over a three-year period. The engine integrates structured and unstructured data from internal systems, external signals, and EY’s extensive proprietary datasets. Already deployed across consumer products, industrials, and financial services, EYGP has proven its ability to deliver transformative outcomes without requiring extensive data preparation or digital infrastructure overhauls.

Applications across industries

• Financial services: Neurosymbolic AI strengthens underwriting, claims processing, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that outcomes align with strict industry standards while optimizing customer benefits.
• Consumer products: The technology enables hyper-personalized recommendations and experiences by combining behavioral patterns with contextual knowledge to deliver insights at an individual level.
• Industrial products: From supply chains to workforce allocation, neurosymbolic AI optimizes value chains by merging domain expertise with real-time operational data, enabling leaders to make precise, location-aware decisions.

The launch of EYGP coincides with the appointment of Jeff Schumacher as EY Growth Platforms Leader at EY-Parthenon. Schumacher, a seasoned strategist with more than 25 years of experience in innovation and digital transformation, previously founded Growth Protocol, the neurosymbolic AI company whose technology underpins EYGP.

“Neurosymbolic AI is not simply an analytics upgrade—it’s a full-scale growth engine,” Schumacher stated. “EY Growth Platforms provides leaders with an AI-powered operating system to reinvent how revenue is generated. This represents a fundamental rethinking of commercial models, not just incremental change.”

EY Growth Platforms is now available across North America, Europe, and Australia. More information can be found at ey.com/NeurosymbolicAI.
