Artefact, the global consulting firm dedicated to data and AI transformation, announced today that it has received the 2026 Google Cloud Artificial Intelligence Partner of the Year Award for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. 

“The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. “We are proud to name Artefact a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year.” 

Artefact is being recognized for excellence in the Google Cloud ecosystem, helping organizations accelerate the transition from AI ambition to enterprise-level, governed agentic AI, grounded in trusted data, measurable outcomes, and scalable operating models. 

Artefact’s Agentic AI Transformation Programs are built to help enterprises decouple revenue growth from operating costs, redesign core processes and deploy agentic systems that execute complex workflows within clear governance frameworks. 

From AI strategy to technical implementation, Artefact supports some of the largest Google Cloud customers in their transformation across all regions and industries: retail, CPG, financial services, life sciences, telecommunications, manufacturing and public sector. 

In the past year, Artefact has deployed its unique approach to generate significant business gains with agentic AI. With strong ExCom sponsorship, reshaping business processes through Google Cloud powered solutions can deliver up to 50% operational efficiency gains and significantly improve business performance. 

“Winning the Google Cloud Artificial Intelligence Partner of the Year award for EMEA two years in a row tells us we’re doing something right. It’s a validation not just of our technology, but of the real, measurable impact we’re creating alongside our clients. We don’t take that trust lightly and this recognition only strengthens our drive to push further,” says Fabrice Henry, COO of Artefact. 

This recognition inspires us to push further in our journey alongside Google Cloud, where the power of Gemini models with the agentic capabilities of Gemini Enterprise and the scaling power of VertexAI enable us to move the needle of AI transformation of our customers. 

Our shared mission is clear: set new standards in AI, lead the charge into a new era of innovation, and unlock business value for our customers.
