Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), through its Google Cloud division, has unveiled a $750 million fund aimed at strengthening its global partner network and accelerating the development of agentic AI solutions. The initiative targets a broad base of partners, including consulting firms, systems integrators, software providers, and channel partners.
The announcement was made during the Cloud Next ’26 event in Las Vegas, where the company outlined plans to support partners with funding and resources across the full AI lifecycle—from identifying use cases to building, deploying, and scaling AI agents. The programme also includes training initiatives and access to Google’s forward-deployed engineering teams.
Google Cloud said its ecosystem spans around 120,000 partners, with system integrators alone contributing more than 330,000 professionals trained in deploying Google AI technologies. The company added that 95% of the top 20 SaaS providers and over 80% of the top 100 rely on its Gemini models.
The new fund will back tools and services such as AI value assessments, Gemini-based proof-of-concepts, and agentic AI prototyping. Google will also embed engineering teams directly with major consulting groups, including Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, Devoteam, HCLTech, and Tata Consultancy Services.
In addition, AI-focused partners such as Altimetrik, Artefact, Covasant, Deepsense, Distyl.ai, Northslope, Quantium, Tribe.ai, and Tryolabs are set to roll out dedicated Gemini Enterprise practices, supported by Google Cloud credits, technical training, and referral opportunities.
Major consulting firms including Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, and McKinsey & Company will also receive early access to Gemini models.
Gemini Enterprise already integrates AI agents from a wide range of companies, including Adobe, Atlassian, Oracle, Palo Alto Networks, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday, among others.
“Google Cloud’s partners are already leaders in agentic AI development and deployment,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, president of the Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud.
