The three-month program will support startups, research teams, and nonprofits by providing expert mentorship and AI integration to tackle challenges in nature, climate, agriculture, and energy.", "body_md": "The Asia-Pacific region is a global engine for economic growth, but it's also highly vulnerable to climate change. While green technologies are gaining momentum, a recent report shows they aren’t scaling fast enough to keep up with the region’s rising environmental risks.\nTo help innovators tackle these environmental challenges, we’re launching an inaugural Google DeepMind Accelerator program in APAC focused on “AI for the Planet.”\nThis three-month program is designed for startups, research teams and nonprofits across the region to use frontier AI to solve problems in nature, climate, agriculture, energy and more. Selected organizations will receive expert mentorship, tailored support and help integrating frontier AI and science AI models from Google AI experts into their projects or products.\nIf you're working on climate solutions, we want to help you scale your work. The program kicks off with an in-person bootcamp in Singapore, and you can learn more and register your interest today.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle", "canonical_source": "https://deepmind.google/blog/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle-environmental-risks/", "published_at": "2026-05-21 19:46:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-22 08:34:37.134488+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "startups", "research", "science"], "entities": ["Google DeepMind", "Asia Pacific", "Singapore"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/were-launching-the-google-deepmind-accelerator-program-in-asia-pacific-to-tackle.jsonld"}}
