Google has announced the launch of its latest Google for Startups Accelerator: AI for Energy program, welcoming 29 pioneering startups from North America, Europe, and Israel. The initiative reflects Google’s growing focus on using artificial intelligence to accelerate the global energy transition—improving how electricity is generated, stored, and distributed while making energy systems more reliable and sustainable.

The selected startups will take part in an intensive 10–12 week program, gaining access to Google mentors, deep technical guidance, and its advanced AI and cloud infrastructure. The goal is to fast-track the development of innovative solutions that can transform energy markets and help achieve net-zero ambitions worldwide.

Part of Google’s Commitment to Sustainability

This accelerator is a direct extension of Google’s global sustainability pledge, which looks to leverage AI as a critical enabler of the clean energy future. Google’s 2025 Environmental Report reaffirms its commitment to supporting innovation that makes energy systems more resilient, efficient, and climate-friendly.

By backing these 29 startups, Google is not just fostering entrepreneurship but also accelerating the practical adoption of AI in tackling the world’s most urgent climate challenges.
