ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accenture Federal Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Accenture (NYSE: ACN), announced today its agreement to explore partnerships with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support the Genesis Mission. This era-defining initiative is a national imperative that will accelerate American leadership in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) race and fundamentally transform the nation’s science and technology ecosystem.

The Genesis Mission, led by the DOE, seeks to leverage public-private partnerships in AI, unlocking significant investment and advancing innovations in AI and data center technologies critical to U.S. leadership. DOE will also establish an enduring, integrated American Science and Security Platform. This unprecedented platform will connect the nation’s leadership-class supercomputers, unique scientific datasets, and cutting-edge AI solutions to advance national security and ignite a new age of scientific discovery, address critical energy challenges, and double American R&D productivity within a decade.

Chair and CEO of Accenture Federal Services, Ron Ash, attended a White House event today announcing the Genesis Mission partners that are stepping up to contribute capabilities and expertise in AI hardware and software.

“A bold national ambition like the Genesis Mission requires a new kind of partnership,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture. “The Genesis Mission is fundamentally reinventing the systems that power discovery, so researchers can move faster and deliver results at scale. Accenture is ready to help build this foundation that advances innovation and competitiveness, drawing on our deep AI expertise and strong technology ecosystem partnerships.”

Accenture Federal Services seeks to support the platform’s strategy and design, enterprise architecture, operations, management, and the integration of AI models and is offering initial services focused on:

• Platform Design and Integration: Defining architecture and integrating tools across Genesis research partners.
• Data Curation: Readying unique scientific data for secure access by researchers.
• Automating Scientific Workflows: Increasing scientific productivity and operational efficiency using AI, automation, and closed-loop approaches to scientific discovery and delivering results faster.

“Winning the AI race depends on how quickly we turn science into real-world impact,” said Ron Ash, Chair and CEO, Accenture Federal Services. “We are deploying our talent and capabilities to build the shared platforms needed to turn scientific discovery into action faster. We are honored to help create these platforms where insights can become breakthroughs at scale. We are proud to be part of the Genesis Mission team and power this new era of American innovation.”
