At Oxford Economics, we help you surface and quantify those contributions, turning anecdotes into evidence.
Our Economic Impact Consulting team builds defensible models that capture direct, indirect, and induced impacts, plus catalytic effects that are often missed, such as supplier development, skills formation, productivity gains, and infrastructure upgrades.

We also run forward looking scenarios, including AI driven load growth, power and carbon forecast, and policy shifts, so you can credibly articulate both today’s impact and tomorrow’s trajectory.
The result is a clear country level value story that strengthens stakeholder trust, supports siting and incentives, and helps you scale with confidence.

The first KPMG Strategic AI Capability Index (SACI) provides a comparative, evidence-based assessment of how the world’s leading regions in the race for AI leadership (the United States, Europe, and China) are positioned to develop, scale, and govern artificial intelligence. The analysis is complemented by a detailed view of Europe’s internal sub-regions.
