EY announces the launch of a global Innovation Center for Snowflake to power the next era of AI-driven enterprise transformation

• Anchors the global EY organization’s data and AI innovation strategy, bringing together advanced engineering, solution development and Snowflake experience to help accelerate enterprise-scale transformation
• Creates a high-velocity hub for ecosystem orchestration with partners including Microsoft and SAP, helping organizations harness the full gravitational pull of their data
• Expands EY professionals’ technical depth through advanced Snowflake training, certification and hands-on innovation

The global EY organization today announced the launch of its global Innovation Center for Snowflake, designed to help organizations turn data into competitive advantage. The Innovation Center operates at the forefront of Snowflake research and development, providing a proving ground for next-generation capabilities across the global EY organization and the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.

As organizations accelerate the adoption of generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI), the Innovation Center brings together talent, technology and ecosystem partners to activate trusted, AI-ready data. The center will help enterprises move from proof of concept to sustained business impact, greater efficiency, and long-term resilience. The Innovation Center strengthens and augments the existing global alliance between the global EY organization and Snowflake, whereby the global EY organization is recognized as an Elite Partner and has won numerous industry and innovation awards in recent years.

At the core of the center is a strategic shift from single platform views to domain-centric data and AI products. By embedding deep industry experience directly into data models, pipelines and AI workflows, EY teams can build scalable solutions spanning specific sectors from financial services, technology and telecommunications, energy, and consumer markets. These domain-driven capabilities help organizations move beyond pilot programs to deploy AI at scale that are grounded in real business operations, regulatory expectations and measurable performance results.

Through the Innovation Center, EY professionals collaborate closely with Snowflake on early-access capabilities, advanced governance frameworks, agentic AI patterns and high-performance data architectures. This research-driven approach can help EY teams to rapidly turn innovation into production-ready solutions, helping clients gain an early advantage as new technologies come to market.

Cameron Wall, EY Global Consulting AI and Data Competency Leader, said:

“Organizations are racing to modernize their data foundations to fully unlock AI’s potential. Yet, without a strong data foundation, there can be no true AI strategy. The launch of the Global Innovation Center for Snowflake is the next step in scaling our alliance with Snowflake and equipping EY people to help clients accelerate their AI transformation journeys with confidence and help deliver measurable business outcomes.”

Madhan Arumugam, VP, Global Customer Experience, Snowflake, says:

“Success in the AI era requires two things: clean, governed data and proof-driven enablement. Our partner ecosystem is critical to delivering those requirements and enabling the success of our customers’ AI transformation imperatives. The global EY organization and Snowflake remain committed to accelerating data- and AI-powered, firm-wide enterprise outcomes through our deep, evergreen collaboration. The Innovation Center for Snowflake equips EY people to support the ever-evolving needs of our customers through their agentic AI initiatives.”
