Google Cloud and private equity firm CVC have announced a new partnership to help companies adopt artificial intelligence faster and use it in day-to-day business operations.
The collaboration will support companies owned or backed by CVC across sectors such as healthcare, retail, finance, telecom, software and manufacturing. These businesses will gain access to Google Cloud’s AI tools, technical support and cloud infrastructure.
The focus of the deal is on “agentic AI”, systems that can complete tasks, automate processes and make decisions with limited human involvement. Companies are expected to use these tools to improve efficiency, reduce costs and speed up services.
Under the partnership, CVC portfolio companies will be able to use Google’s Gemini AI models and other enterprise AI platforms. Some firms may also receive early access to new AI products before they are launched widely.
Google Cloud will also provide specialist engineering teams to work directly with these businesses. Their role will be to help companies build AI systems faster, solve technical problems and integrate the technology into existing operations.
Cybersecurity is another major part of the agreement. Businesses involved in the partnership will have access to advanced security tools to protect data, systems and AI platforms from threats.
CVC said the partnership would help many of its companies become more technology-driven and competitive. Google Cloud said the deal reflects a growing shift from AI experiments to large-scale practical use in business.
