## Summary

Microsoft announced that Volkswagen Group equipped more than 330,000 employees with Microsoft Copilot. According to the company, the phased rollout began with Copilot Chat, which recorded more than 300,000 monthly active users; employees now also use Copilot with Work IQ across engineering, production, procurement and sales processes. More than 26,000 agents were active across the Group in the past month.

Microsoft and Volkswagen Group also intend to expand their collaboration and scale the Intelligent Data Foundation, the Group’s unified data ecosystem, on Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft says the initiative is intended to make trusted data easier to find, understand and use across the company.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

The large-scale adoption includes chat, agents and data access across different operational areas, but the figures and objectives were disclosed by Microsoft. Expanding the Intelligent Data Foundation could make trusted corporate data easier to use in everyday processes if the plan moves forward.
