Our annual event with Google Cloud took place yesterday! Bringing together cloud partnership leaders and ecosystem builders for a deep dive into one of the biggest shifts happening in the cloud ecosystem right now - partnerships in the AI era ☁️🤖 We gathered at the Google offices to hear from Ira Oren, ISV Partnerships Lead EMEA at Google Cloud, about the latest updates coming out. One of the clearest messages from Google Cloud Next '26 was that AI is shifting from passive copilots into autonomous, revenue-generating agents. The company introduced a $750M Partner AI Fund focused on accelerating Agentic AI companies building on its platform. In addition, partners can now receive up to $150K in seed credits, 25% performance credits, and MDF support for building Agent-as-a-Service solutions through the Marketplace. We’re proud to continue bringing valuable content, meaningful connections, and great ecosystem conversations, while continuing to build a strong and leading community in the cloud partnerships ecosystem. Thank you to Nadav Tzuker and Gilad Barzilay for the ecosystem updates, to Ira for the insightful session, and to Daniel Goldenstein for sharing Eon’s story and inspiration. Thank you to Google for hosting us, and to CONNACT for continuing to support our community. See you at the next events! ☁️ #CloudPartnerships #GoogleCloud #CloudEcosystem #AgenticAI #CloudCommunity
