Guernsey’s eight leading industry bodies, known as the G8, have launched All-In, a coordinated, island-wide programme running from 1 October to 12 November designed to equip businesses, employees and community organisations with the practical AI skills and confidence to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The Sprint represents the most ambitious collective action on artificial intelligence Guernsey has undertaken. It brings together industry leaders, employees at every level, SME owners, charities and the wider community in a structured programme of workshops, hackathons, panel discussions, live demonstrations, weekly challenges and networking events – culminating in an event to celebrate outcomes and showcase what Guernsey has achieved.
Why Now?
The announcement comes in direct response to strategic actions as a result of the Oliver Wyman report (Driving Growth for Guernsey) as well as the PwC Channel Islands CEO Survey, which highlights that there is an opportunity for Guernsey to build skills in the areas of AI adoption and value realisation. The Sprint is designed to upskill the wider population – urgently and practically.
PwC, whose research has been instrumental in framing the scale of this challenge, will act as a lead collaborator with the G8 – a reflection of both their investment in Guernsey’s economic future and their role in catalysing this initiative.
“We’re delighted to support the G8 AI Sprint in Guernsey, an initiative exemplifying a bold and forward-thinking response to technological change. At PwC, our commitment to innovation is built on a foundation of boldness, collaboration, and optimism. By harnessing our expertise and embracing cutting-edge technology, we empower clients and communities to move forward confidently. This event showcases the potential of uniting industry, government, and the community to turn ambitious visions into reality and we believe there is a clear and exciting path for Guernsey to align with its global peers and position itself as a leader in innovation and sustainable economic growth.”.” Roland Mills, Lead Office Partner – Guernsey, PwC Channel Islands
A Programme Built for Everyone
All-In is deliberately designed for all sectors and all levels of experience – not just tech specialists. The programme covers finance, digital economy, government, retail, hospitality, construction, SMEs, and charities, with events delivered by the relevant G8 body.
“Guernsey has always punched above its weight when we work together – and that’s exactly what All-In is about. Eight industry bodies, one shared ambition: to make sure no business, no employee and no community organisation in this island gets left behind by AI.
The tools are here and the opportunity is very real. And frankly, we can’t afford to hesitate. All-In exists because the G8 believes Guernsey’s greatest competitive advantage is its people  and this autumn we’re giving every one of them the chance to get hands-on with AI, for free, in their own community. Alice Gill, Executive Director, Guernsey Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of the G8
