More than 100 startups will convene at Google’s Sunnyvale headquarters next month for a two-day in-person summit designed to accelerate their growth.
At the inaugural Google for Startups Gemini Startup Forum — launched in partnership with Google DeepMind last November — more than 50 pioneering founders collaborated with experts across Google to overcome technical challenges, refine their product strategies and scale their solutions globally. Now, the second cohort of startups has been selected from nearly 2,000 applications from around the globe.
Representing 16 countries — including major tech hubs such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, India, Singapore and Brazil — these 102 startups are at the forefront of the AI revolution. While they tackle diverse challenges, from transforming manufacturing intelligence and streamlining clinical workflows to building the next generation of wearable hardware, they share a common mission: leveraging AI to create more adaptive, intelligent and scalable solutions for the modern world.
At the Gemini Startup Forum, participants will hear from Google AI experts and leaders, receive hands-on support from the engineers behind Google’s newest products, gain exclusive access to AI demos and network with fellow founders.
