Google DeepMind selects 15 European robotics startups for accelerator program

Google DeepMind announced the launch of a three-month accelerator program targeting early-stage robotics startups across Europe. The program provides technical mentorship, product guidance, and access to advanced artificial intelligence models to help selected companies transform research into real-world applications. Fifteen startups were selected from a competitive pool of applicants. These companies operate in sectors including healthcare, construction, recycling, and logistics, leveraging AI technologies to address practical challenges. Participants gain access to Google's AI infrastructure, technical expertise, and Gemini robotics models specifically tailored for their development. Founder teams gathered in London this week to commence the program and connect with specialists from Google DeepMind and Google. The accelerator delivers hands-on support, strategic mentoring, and access to a broad partner network designed to accelerate development and enable responsible scaling of intelligent robotic systems.
