About Us

The Tech Build and Design Unit of BCG

BCG X is the tech build and design unit of Boston Consulting Group. We exist at the intersection of advanced technology, ambitious entrepreneurship, and BCG's unmatched depth of industry and functional expertise. Since our founding, we have grown into a global force of nearly 3,000 technologists, scientists, programmers, engineers, and human-centered designers operating across 80 cities worldwide—with 48 patents and patents pending and more than 30 tech and business partnerships powering our work. We build alongside the world's largest and most ambitious organizations, delivering integrated end-to-end solutions that are ready to run from day one. Whether launching a first-of-its-kind venture, deploying AI at enterprise scale, or building the digital platforms that turbocharge transformation, we create the critical mass needed to help organizations mark their breakthrough moments.

Who we are

Technologists, Scientists, and Entrepreneurs Who Build Tomorrow

We are BCG Xers—a focused, multidisciplinary community of tech builders, designers, data scientists, AI engineers, and bold entrepreneurs who share one conviction: tomorrow belongs to those who build it. We invest in ingenuity, empower collaboration, and bring together a focused breadth and depth of diverse talent to multiply our collective impact. Our people come from the world's leading technology companies, startups, universities, and research institutions—including over 200 PhDs within the BCG X AI Science Institute alone. We don't just advise. We build, operate, scale, and transfer capabilities that generate lasting impact for business and society. When ambitious talent and powerful technology combine, we help leaders launch their next big bets and mark their moment.

What we do

We Build, Scale, and Transfer End-to-End Solutions

BCG X unites more than 3,000 tech builders, designers, and entrepreneurs to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions that maximize impact at scale. Our work spans five core areas. In AI and GenAI, we harness the value of predictive AI and generative AI to deliver transformative business impact—powered by our suite of proprietary AI assets—helping clients deploy solutions at scale, reshape critical functions end to end, and build new AI-driven experiences and business models. In Customer Experience for Growth, we create world-class, end-to-end customer journeys that boost topline growth through strategic brand amplification, personalized experiences, and maximized marketing ROI. Through our Delivery capability, we build, maintain, and scale client solutions with multidisciplinary teams from key centers around the world. In Large-Scale Digital Platform and Product Builds, we develop modern, AI-enabled data platforms that provide a secure foundation for large-scale digital transformations. And through Venture and Business Builds, we apply an end-to-end approach to build and launch new products, services, business lines, and standalone companies—delivering everything from technology and go-to-market strategy to operational excellence. Underpinning it all, the BCG X AI Science Institute drives scientific breakthroughs by leveraging AI to advance research in healthcare, climate science, energy, and beyond.

Our Purpose

Unlocking the Potential of Those Who Advance the World

At BCG X, everything we build is in service of a single organizing idea inherited from BCG's broader purpose: unlocking the potential of those who advance the world. We build to address the world's most important challenges and opportunities—not merely to create products, but to create impact. We believe that when ambitious talent and powerful technology combine, the result is transformation that is immediate, measurable, and lasting. We partner with organizations across every major industry not just to solve today's problems, but to create the future—building solutions that scale, capabilities that transfer, and businesses that endure. For us, building tomorrow is not a tagline. It is the work.

Our Values

The Principles That Guide How We Build

BCG X operates within BCG's broader commitment to the highest standards of ethics, business conduct, and company principles. We bring insight to light by challenging traditional thinking and bringing fresh perspectives to the toughest problems in technology and business. We drive inspired impact by looking beyond the next deadline to the next decade, collaborating shoulder to shoulder with our clients to enable and energize their organizations. We conquer complexity by discovering unique sources of competitive advantage in dynamic, technology-driven systems. We lead with integrity by confronting hard issues honestly, staying true to our values, and stating our views candidly and directly—guided by BCG's Code of Conduct, AI Code of Conduct, and Global Human Rights Statement. And we grow by growing others—building the skills, confidence, and capabilities of our clients, our colleagues, and the communities we serve.

Why working with us

The Multiplier Effect: Strategy, Technology, and Entrepreneurship in One

BCG X is where BCG's 60-plus years of deep industry expertise and strategic clarity meets advanced technology and bold entrepreneurship. That combination is rare—and it is what makes us different. Most tech firms can build. Most consultancies can advise. We do both, end to end, at the speed that the market demands and the scale that the world's largest organizations require. Our industry-grade products and proprietary AI assets—backed by nearly 70 patents and patents pending—are designed for high-value use cases and real deployment, not proof-of-concept. Our BCG X AI Science Institute brings more than 200 PhDs together with leading universities and R&D teams to accelerate scientific breakthroughs that translate directly into business value. We build alongside our clients, transfer capabilities to their teams, and ensure the change sticks—delivering stronger returns that last well beyond the engagement.

Sustainability

Building for a Net-Zero, Nature-Positive Future

At BCG X, sustainability is not a separate workstream—it is embedded in how we build and what we build toward. As part of BCG's broader commitment to responsible business, we actively partner with clients to accelerate decarbonization, reduce food waste, advance circular economy models, and harness AI to navigate climate risk. The BCG X AI Science Institute is developing next-generation climate modeling capabilities, including the GAIA Foundation Model—an open-source AI model trained on 25 years of global satellite data—to help organizations simulate environmental scenarios with unprecedented precision. We have partnered with organizations such as the WWF to launch OpenSC, an AI- and blockchain-powered platform verifying sustainable food production at source. BCG's 2025 Annual Sustainability Report, Unlocked Potential, Transformative Impact, reflects the depth of our societal commitments, and BCG's net-zero strategy guides how we manage our own environmental footprint. We hold ourselves to the same high standards we set for our clients.

Community & Impact

Advancing Science, Society, and Global Impact

BCG X was built with a conviction that the most powerful technology should serve the most important challenges. Through the BCG X AI Science Institute, we collaborate with universities, industry experts, and leading R&D teams to drive breakthroughs in drug discovery, climate modeling, air traffic optimization, and advanced materials. In partnership with Merck, we developed TEDDY—a family of AI foundation models for understanding single-cell biology—accelerating the path to new treatments for chronic and degenerative diseases. In partnership with NASA and USRA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science, we released the GAIA Foundation Model to the scientific community as an open-source tool for weather and climate analysis. BCG has committed $500 million by 2030 to unlock the power of AI for social impact across education, workforce development, healthcare, and poverty reduction. Our global team has collectively dedicated more than 2.5 million hours to social impact—because building tomorrow means building it for everyone.

Inclusion & Diversity

A Diverse Community That Multiplies Collective Impact

BCG X is the workplace destination for tech, design, and entrepreneurial minds—and we believe the breadth of perspectives within our community is what sharpens our work and multiplies our impact. We invest in ingenuity and empower collaboration across a globally diverse team that spans 80 cities, drawing talent from leading technology companies, research institutions, startups, and universities around the world. BCG is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to ensuring that all qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Our BCG UP program—Unlocking the Potential of All BCGers—reflects our organization-wide commitment to building an environment where every individual can do their best work and grow to their fullest potential.
