Today, I am excited to welcome you to Google Cloud Next ‘20: OnAir, our first digital event series that gives our community an opportunity to learn from top industry leaders and get inspired by our latest cloud innovations.

As we’ve all experienced, the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how we live and work—for citizens, communities and organizations. At Google Cloud, we’ve been touched by how heroically and graciously people and organizations everywhere have stepped up to the challenge, and we have been humbled by the opportunity to support them during this period of profound change. Remote work, telemedicine, digital banking and distance learning have all become new standards in today’s environment.

As we face a period of gradual recovery, we see organizations shifting to digital models to sell to and service customers, to deliver products and services and even to design and manufacture products. These changes have driven many organizations to modernize their technology infrastructure rapidly using the cloud to pivot quickly, optimize costs and prepare for the future.

Our mission at Google Cloud is to accelerate our customers’ ability to digitally transform and reimagine their businesses through data-powered innovation. We offer three primary capabilities to help you: global-scale distributed infrastructure as a service, a digital transformation platform, and industry-specific solutions powered by Google’s AI and machine learning advances. We continue to see organizations across various industries place their trust in Google Cloud because of the differentiated technology we provide to help them solve real business problems. This includes several leading global companies we’ve recently announced such as Deutsche Bank, FOX Sports, Procter & Gamble, Group Renault, Telefónica and Verizon—to name just a few.
