AI Startups Revolutionize Infrastructure Solutions

Mass power outages, air travel delays, and traffic jams are just a few of the infrastructure headaches we all face. That's why Google Public Sector is stepping up to help governments and organizations harness AI to create more responsive and accessible services, tackle climate issues, and even patch up those pesky potholes. We're now ramping up our support for startups through the Google for Startups AI Academy: American Infrastructure program. The 15 AI companies chosen for our first group are all geared up to help governments and communities tackle big challenges more effectively.

Over 12 weeks, these startup founders and their teams will dive into an intensive AI curriculum, guided by Google's People + AI Research (PAIR) team. They'll also get a crash course in advanced sales and go-to-market strategies to help their businesses grow. Each founder will have a dedicated Google mentor and access to our global Google for Startups alumni network.
