Energising day in our Belfast HQ as we hosted Google’s EMEA Public Sector leadership - the Head of Public Sector and the Defence & National Security Lead - for a hands-on working session on trusted AI for government, defence and national security.
We covered a lot of ground, fast
Inside Google Public Sector EMEA: How the team is structured, why they exist, what “good” looks like for customers—and what great partnership means in practice
Our strategy
Collective, our rapid AI capability development platform - secure by design, explainable and auditable, deployable on Google Cloud or fully offline for sensitive environments.
Live AI application demos built on Collective:
✔️ An institutional management tool designed for complex, multi-stakeholder operations
✔️ A social media application for information operations
✔️ An agentic-AI workflow solution developed for the US Department of Defence
Why it matters
Speed wins. On a wartime footing, AI capabilities must transition from idea to impact in weeks—not years—while remaining governed, explainable, and deployable from the tactical edge to the enterprise core.
By combining Google’s scale and secure cloud with sovereign, disconnected, and edge deployments where missions demand, we have a great partner to collaborate with, enabling us to deliver an integrated edge-to-core AI ecosystem for government, defence, and national security.
