Accenture Federal Services and Google Public Sector Establish Gemini Launchpads to Power Purpose-Built Agents Across Federal Missions

WASHINGTON, October 19, 2026--Accenture Federal Services, a subsidiary of Accenture (NYSE: ACN), and Google Public Sector today 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 (part of the Accenture Google Business Group), provides federal agencies with a centralized hub of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) 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.

"The real opportunity to scale value for our clients is deploying these purpose-built agents to transform work at the heart of government operations," said Ron Ash, CEO of Accenture Federal Services. "By embedding our Forward Deployed Engineers with agency teams, we're working side-by-side with our clients to help them define and rapidly solve their most critical challenges using agents to help deliver the advantage our clients need and the results they expect."

"Federal agencies stand at the threshold of the agentic era, where success is measured not merely by technology adopted, but by mission outcomes delivered," said Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector. "By pairing Gemini and secure cloud infrastructure with Accenture Federal Services' deep federal acumen, we are enabling agencies to build purpose-driven agents designed for the way they work. This collaboration further moves governments beyond incremental modernization—equipping public servants with intelligent capabilities to navigate complex systems, accelerate critical decisions, and deliver at the speed of mission."

Accelerating Mission Impact with Specialized Engineers and Pre-Built Agents
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.
