Google Cloud Commits $750 Million to Partner Development in Agentic AI

Google Cloud has announced a $750 million fund to accelerate agentic AI development across its global partner network, according to a press release. The initiative, introduced at Cloud Next '26 in Las Vegas, will provide resources and incentives to consulting firms, systems integrators, software partners, and channel partners.

The funding will support AI value assessments, prototyping, deployment, and skills development. It will also include embedded forward-deployed engineering teams working alongside major partners such as Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, HCLTech, and TCS to assist with customer implementations.

Partners including Accenture, Bain & Company, BCG, Deloitte, and McKinsey will gain early access to Gemini models to help refine them for enterprise applications. In addition, AI services firms like Altimetrik, Artefact, and Tribe.ai will establish dedicated Gemini Enterprise practices supported by Google Cloud credits and technical training.

The company stated that the program will enable partners to build and deploy enterprise-ready agents through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, with available agents from providers such as Adobe, Atlassian, Oracle, Salesforce, and ServiceNow.
