The agreement, sealed yesterday in London, would bring storage, security, and AI assistance to Vodafone’s customers in 15 countries, and its partners in an additional 45 markets worldwide, while Google would use Vodafone’s fixed and mobile connectivity services to improve workforce productivity.
Vodafone Group Chief Executive, Margherita Della Valle, said: “Together, Vodafone and Google will put new AI-powered content and devices into the hands of millions of more consumers. Using these services, our customers can discover new ways to learn, create and communicate, as well as consume TV, on a scale we haven’t seen before.”
CEO of Google and Alphabet, Sundar Pichai, said: “Our expanded partnership with Vodafone will help bring our most advanced AI products and services, including our Gemini models, to more people across Europe and Africa.
“I’m excited to see how Vodafone’s consumers, small businesses and governments, will use generative AI and Google Cloud to transform the way they work and access information.”
