“With this expanded funding, we will be able to dedicate new resources and technology to support our partners as they accelerate our mutual customers’ agentic AI journeys,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Google Cloud.

Google Cloud has announced a $750 million fund to deliver new resources and incentives to partners in its 120,000-member ecosystem, aiming to accelerate customers’ use of agentic AI. 

Open to global consulting firms, systems integrators, software partners, and channel partners, the fund will support AI value identification, agent building and deployment, as well as supporting workforce upskilling and hands‑on support from Google’s forward‑deployed engineering (FDE) teams.

Google Cloud said that its network of partners already offers more than 330,000 experts trained on implementing Google AI for customers, with 95% of the top 20 and over over 80% of the top 100 SaaS companies using Gemini models, with the fresh capital designed to accelerate the transformative capabilities of Google’s products for these customers.

The investment will support new tools and resources, including AI value assessments, Gemini proofs-of-concept, Gemini Enterprise practice building, agentic AI prototyping, and Wiz security assessments to accelerate the adoption of AI both within partner companies and for their customers.

Google will also embed FDEs alongside major consulting firms and systems integrators like Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, and Deloitte to support customer AI deployments and solve deep technical challenges.

At the same time, AI-native services partners, including Artefact, Covasant, Deepsense, Quantium, and Tryolabs will launch Gemini Enterprise practices as part of Google’s new Gemini Enterprise transformation program, with Google Cloud providing credits for sandbox development, technical upskilling, and referral opportunities.

As well as building AI agents, Google wants its partners to make enterprise-ready agents easily discoverable, and allow customers to deploy highly vetted agents built using the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, including those from the likes of Lovable, Oracle, Palo Alto Networks, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday.

Under the plans, consultancy partners, including Accenture, Bain & Company, BCG, Deloitte, and McKinsey, will also receive early access to Gemini models, with their feedback helping to refine these systems and ensure they’re equipped to deliver for people, companies, and society.

“With this expanded funding, we will be able to dedicate new resources and technology to support our partners as they accelerate our mutual customers’ agentic AI journeys,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, president of Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud.
