Google is investing an additional $9 billion in Oklahoma within the next two years in cloud and AI infrastructure. This investment supports the development of a new data center campus in Stillwater and the expansion of our existing facility in Pryor, as well as expanded education and workforce development programs.

As part of a broader $1 billion commitment to American education and competitiveness, the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University are part of the first cohort of the Google AI for Education Accelerator that launched last week, giving Sooners and Cowboys no-cost access to Google Career Certificates and AI training courses. Google is also providing funding to support an innovative program with the electrical training ALLIANCE to increase the electrical workforce pipeline in Oklahoma by 135%, helping develop the labor force needed to build new energy infrastructure.

This is an extraordinary time for American innovation. These investments will prepare Oklahoma's students with critical AI and job-ready skills, and create a talent pipeline of workers to power not only Oklahoma’s future, but America's AI leadership.
