Google Cloud partners with private equity firm EQT to accelerate AI rollout across 300+ portfolio companies

EQT struck a deal with Alphabet Inc.'s Google Cloud giving more than 300 companies in EQT's portfolio access to Google Cloud's AI and security tools, including the Gemini Enterprise Agent platform for building AI applications, and early access to select upcoming Google Cloud AI products.

Google Cloud's engineers will collaborate with EQT's in-house AI transformation group (approximately 35 people), and the agreement opens access to Google Cloud's partner ecosystem, which includes more than 330,000 specialists across firms such as Accenture, Deloitte and KPMG.

The partnership is designed to help EQT's portfolio companies—spanning enterprise software and healthcare—move from AI experimentation to broader rollout and help management teams be more competitive in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
