Accenture and Google Launch Gemini Launchpads

Accenture Federal Services (ACN) and Google Public Sector (GOOG) announced the deployment of Gemini launchpads, a new capability designed to help federal agencies move more quickly from agentic experimentation to mission execution at scale. This initiative, which builds on the recent announcement of Accenture's Gemini Enterprise Business Group, provides federal agencies with a centralized hub of Forward Deployed Engineers to industrialize how they build, deploy, and scale enterprise agents. By embedding these specialized FDEs alongside agencies, the government can focus on delivering outcome-based, high-code agents built on Gemini, that integrate directly into core government systems of record and enable practitioners to execute complex workflows. By activating a Gemini launchpad, agencies can centrally manage the agent-from securely connecting Gemini to mission datasets and prioritizing agent use cases to rapid deployment and workforce training. This provides leadership with a single view to track performance, measure mission impact, and drive even more value from their investment in Gemini. To meet federal demand and accelerate this mission, Accenture Federal Services is training an initial cohort of Google Cloud- skilled FDEs. This training would be part of Accenture's recently announced commitment to establish a 1,000-person FDE workforce Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group. These FDEs will embed directly alongside agency teams and Accenture Federal's functional subject matter experts to bridge the gap between technology and mission. By combining advanced Google Cloud technical skills with deep federal domain expertise, these integrated teams will build Gemini agents that address real agency challenges and unlock tangible mission value.
