Google Cloud announces new data residency flexibility for UK firms, accelerator for regional startups
Briefly

Google Cloud has launched a 12-week accelerator program for UK startups focused on AI, in partnership with Tech London Advocates. The program offers equity-free support, technical assistance, and access to AI tools and Google Cloud's partner network. Participating startups can receive cloud credits up to £280,000. New data residency assurances enable businesses to process data within the UK. The initiative aims to address sovereign data obligations, particularly in regulated sectors, and builds on existing solutions for data control and isolation.
"We do understand that you have sovereign obligations and we're designing our solutions so that regardless of your industry you are in control."
Google Cloud allows businesses to process data with Gemini 2.5 Flash Machine Learning entirely within the UK, addressing data residency concerns.
