Google Cloud Invests $750M in AI Consulting Push with McKinsey, Accenture, and Deloitte

Gate News message, April 23 — Google Cloud is investing US$750 million to help major consulting firms including McKinsey, Accenture, and Deloitte build and sell enterprise AI projects powered by Gemini, with support from Google engineers. DeepMind will provide selected partners early access to Gemini models in exchange for feedback before official launch, while funding covers AI training and agent development programs.

Google plans to co-fund certain client work with McKinsey on an outcome basis, where payment depends on results rather than standard project fees. The company will also deploy engineers to large IT services firms such as Tata Consultancy Services and HCLTech to help enterprises deploy AI systems and resolve technical issues. According to Google, only about 25% of organizations have successfully deployed AI at scale, a gap the fund aims to address. This move reflects a broader industry trend, with OpenAI and Anthropic pursuing similar consulting partnerships to accelerate enterprise AI adoption.
