At Cloud Next '26 in Las Vegas, Google Cloud announced a landmark $750 million fund dedicated to accelerating the "Agentic Era." This investment aims to empower its 120,000-member partner ecosystem to move beyond AI experimentation and into production-scale deployment of autonomous agents. The fund is available to global consulting firms, systems integrators (SIs), software partners, and channel partners to support the end-to-end lifecycle of agentic AI.
Strategic Investment: $750 million allocated for AI value identification, prototyping, deployment, and technical upskilling.
Embedded Engineering: Google is deploying Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to work directly alongside elite partners including Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, HCLTech, PwC, and TCS.
Gemini Enterprise Transformation: A new program for AI-native services partners (e.g., Altimetrik, Artefact, Distyl.ai, Tribe.ai) to launch dedicated Gemini Enterprise practices.
Early Frontier Access: Top-tier consultancies like Accenture, BCG, and McKinsey receive early access to the newest Gemini models to refine industry-specific solutions.
Enterprise-Ready Agent Marketplace: Gemini Enterprise now features highly-vetted, ready-to-deploy agents from partners like Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday.
Expertise at Scale: The ecosystem currently boasts over 330,000 certified experts trained in Google AI implementation.
The fund marks a shift from general partner support to "deep-tissue" engineering collaboration. By embedding Google’s own engineers within partner firms, Google Cloud aims to solve the "execution gap"—the difficulty organizations face when moving AI from a pilot phase to a durable, secure, and governed production environment.
"Enterprise reinvention requires more than experimentation—it demands deep engineering and the ability to execute at scale. Google Cloud's investment strengthens how we solve complex technical challenges and build enterprise-ready solutions together." — Scott Alfieri, Accenture Google Business Group Lead
Central to this announcement is the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, which serves as a unified developer destination for building and governing agents. This platform brings together Vertex AI’s tuning services with new security features like Agent Identity (for granular permissions) and Agent Gateway (for policy enforcement). This infrastructure ensures that agents built by partners like Deloitte—which already has a library of over 1,000 pre-built agents—can be integrated seamlessly into existing enterprise workflows without compromising security.
Early implementations are already showing massive results. Zebra Technologies, working with Deloitte and Google Cloud, has deployed specialized agents to transform internal functions, freeing up teams for higher-value work within a secure framework. Similarly, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison expects to see a cumulative EBITDA impact of over $360 million by 2027 through its AI-native transformation powered by Gemini.
Google Cloud provides a comprehensive, AI-optimized stack—from infrastructure and Gemini models to data management and developer platforms—designed to lead organizations into the Agentic Era. Trusted by customers in over 200 countries, Google Cloud focuses on delivering enterprise-grade AI that is grounded, secure, and measurable.
