Google Public Sector is expanding its collaboration with Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) by integrating support for Palantir's FedStart platform. This initiative will enable public sector clients to leverage software and applications on Google's accredited cloud infrastructure through Palantir's system.

The Palantir FedStart platform is designed to help U.S. government agencies comply with regulations, enhance operational scalability, and access cutting-edge solutions from leading independent software vendors (ISVs). Many of these software solutions are developed natively on Google Cloud. This partnership is set to boost innovation within U.S. government entities by providing them with certified solutions across multiple cloud platforms, ensuring robust security and compliance.

The collaboration also facilitates a smoother and quicker path for ISVs to gain accreditation and make a significant impact. At the commencement of this initiative, Anthropic's Claude for Enterprise application will be the first to be available to federal government agencies through Palantir FedStart on Google Cloud.
