Deloitte and NVIDIA's 'Adopt 100'

Deloitte has announced a new initiative called the “Adopt 100” programme in collaboration with NVIDIA. The programme is intended to support businesses in exploring and implementing artificial intelligence by providing access to a curated set of AI tools and solutions.

Launched alongside London Tech Week, Adopt 100 is designed to bring together a selection of AI startups that use NVIDIA-based technologies. These startups are drawn from the NVIDIA Inception Programme, which focuses on supporting emerging AI companies.

Deloitte’s initial plan is to include 100 startups in the programme. These companies are selected based on their relevance to specific business challenges faced by clients. The approach involves matching organisations with startups whose AI tools are intended to address those needs, along with guidance on integrating these solutions into existing systems.

Both Deloitte and NVIDIA are expected to participate in the process by providing support and working with clients and startups on implementation and integration. The aim is to help ensure that the selected AI tools can be deployed within operational environments.

The programme is positioned as a way to support organisations that are exploring how to adopt and scale AI technologies, moving from experimentation toward broader operational use.

According to UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan, the initiative may contribute to the development of both UK-based startups and wider industry capability. It sits alongside other government-related efforts such as BridgeAI, which is focused on supporting AI adoption.

The first group of participating startups includes PolyAI and Doubleword, which are contributing AI-based products as part of the initial cohort.
