Paris, 15.04.2026
Manako Labs and PwC France and Maghreb will now jointly bring physical AI to enterprise through improved computer vision technology leveraging blockchain architecture. Under this alliance, PwC France will lean on Manako's Business Operations World Model, powered by Score - Subnet 44, to better serve its clients across sectors, giving organisations the infrastructure to turn their existing camera networks into real-time systems of action. While anchored in PwC France, the alliance is built to operate at global scale, drawing on the full reach of the PwC network.
The largest unmodelled dataset on earth
The physical world is the largest unmodelled dataset on earth. One billion cameras. Twenty-one billion connected sensors. More footage recorded every hour than humanity could watch in a lifetime. The vast majority is never seen, and none of them drive action. For enterprises operating at scale across retail, logistics, manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure, that gap is no longer theoretical. It is measurable in shrinkage, downtime, liability, and missed decisions. Unplanned manufacturing downtime costs the industry billions annually, often traced to incidents that were recorded but never acted on. Retailers absorb shrinkage that cameras see and systems ignore. The data exists. The infrastructure to act on it has not, until now.
The race to deploy physical AI is already under way. Enterprises across every sector are facing the same decision: build the capability now or cede ground to those who do. The challenge is not awareness. It is execution. Building a Business Operations World Model in-house requires specialised teams, proprietary data, and significant infrastructure work that most organisations do not want to absorb. The market needs a deployable layer, one that works at scale, under real constraints, without requiring a research team to operate it.
Manako could be that layer. Not another camera tool, not a narrow detection model, but a Business Operations World Model. A system that understands what is happening in a physical environment in real time, across every camera already installed, and triggers the right action before the cost is incurred. Not alerts sent to a dashboard. Triggered actions executed in the world: lockdowns, dispatches, audit reports, workflow automations. Operations Leaders connect their existing camera feeds, describe what they need in plain language, and Manako monitors, understands, and acts.

Underpinning Manako is Score, a decentralised computer vision network that trains and builds specialist Vision Agents at global scale. Together, Manako and Score are making physical AI a horizontal utility: powerful enough for any scale, accessible enough for any team and cost efficient.
What this means for PwC’s clients
For PwC, the alliance addresses a growing urgency among its enterprise clients. As physical AI moves from emerging technology to operational necessity, the firms advising the world's largest organisations need deployable infrastructure they can stand behind, not proofs of concept. Manako aims to provide that: a Business Operations World Model that is production-ready and built to deploy at enterprise scale. By integrating Manako's capabilities into its broader AI and digital advisory practice, PwC France can help clients move from identifying use cases in vision Ai to deploy scalable value creation plans when applicable, with confidence.
The alliance supports clients across sectors as they assess physical AI opportunities, design responsible adoption pathways, and deploy systems that produce measurable outcomes in the real world.
"Vision AI is no longer a future concept. It is becoming an operational necessity for any organisation that operates in the physical world. The gap between observation and action is where enterprises are losing substantial amounts of value every year. This alliance with PwC is about helping them close it, with world models that work at scale, not pilots that never ship. The opportunity is global in several industries." — Maxime Sebti, Co-Founder and CEO, Manako Labs
"Physical AI is rapidly moving from emerging technology to an operational necessity. By partnering with Manako and leveraging Score decentralized Ai infrastructure on Bittensor blockchain, we enable our clients to move faster beyond observation and experimentation, and toward real‑world execution, turning physical environments into systems that drive decisions, actions, and scalable value creation." — Jean-Thomas Ledore, Strategy Partner, PwC France and Maghreb
The alliance underscores a shared commitment to advancing enterprise-grade physical AI adoption, grounded in real-world applicability, responsible design, and measurable outcomes, as the Business Operations World Model becomes an increasingly central component of how the world's largest organisations run.
