Today I'm excited to announce the 14 Canadian startups that will join our 2026 Google for Startups Accelerator: Canada cohort. 🎉 Over the next 10 weeks, these Canadian founders will work 1-on-1 with Google, Google Cloud and Google DeepMind mentors to sharpen their business models and scale their AI capabilities. This year's group represents a true national footprint across 🇨🇦, including our first-ever participant from Sudbury!
