1st Mathematical Optimization Barometer

Discover how leading companies are tackling complex decision-making and the role mathematical optimization plays in their transformation.

In this study, produced by DECIDE | Linkroad in collaboration with Gurobi, we analyze the real state of mathematical optimization (prescriptive AI) among large companies in Spain and Portugal.

Based on insights from more than 400 executives, the report provides a clear view of how decisions are made, where there is room for improvement, and the actual level of prescriptive AI adoption.

Key Insights

• 98.5% of companies identify room for improvement in costs and efficiency.

• 84% still make complex decisions without advanced tools.
