ORLEN partners with Google Cloud to step up AI adoption

ORLEN has entered into an agreement with Google Cloud to advance the adoption of artificial intelligence across its business. The partnership will provide the Group with cutting-edge solutions to develop integrated digital tools, particularly in retail and energy, allowing it to respond more effectively to customer needs. The agreement covers advanced data analytics and data science, the development of a modern data platform, and the acquisition of new digital skills.

"The agreement with Google Cloud is a milestone in delivering our digital strategy. Leveraging advanced technologies and data analytics, we can accelerate innovation, shorten time-to-market for new services, and strengthen our ability to respond swiftly to market needs. This partnership demonstrates how technology can drive long-term growth and create value in a rapidly changing business environment," says Robert Soszyński, COO and Vice President of the Management Board of ORLEN.

Digital transformation is a pillar of the ORLEN Group's 2035 strategy, "The Energy of Tomorrow Starts Today." The strategic roadmap published in January emphasises the use of digital tools and effective Group-wide data management as key enablers of a successful energy transition. Working with Google Cloud, ORLEN will be able to implement projects and initiatives driving forward both its digital transformation and business growth.

"Together with Google Cloud, we are deploying AI-driven solutions, advanced data analytics and data science to boost the ORLEN Group's operational and sales performance. This is a major step towards long-term growth and value creation for our shareholders, showing strong synergistic effects between technology and business," adds Michał Furman, Executive Director for Digital Transformation and Information Technology at ORLEN.

"This partnership is more than just a business deal - it's a shared journey to build a new standard powered by data and artificial intelligence. I believe that, together with ORLEN, we can inspire Polish companies and organisations by showing them how technology can truly drive growth and help better understand and meet customer needs. It's a great example of Polish leaders boldly embracing innovation to shape the future," says Magdalena Dziewguć, Country Director, Google Cloud Poland.

As part of the cooperation, ORLEN employees will also gain access to expert advisory and mentoring support in joint projects, educational platforms, as well as dedicated training and hands-on workshops on AI delivered by Google Cloud.
