Google Cloud
Google Cloud is an official partner of NM i AI 2026. Selected teams receive a free GCP account with a dedicated project — no credit limits, no billing setup, ready to use.
What You Get
- A
@gcplab.meGoogle account - A dedicated GCP project with full access to Cloud services
- No credit limits — use what you need for the competition
- Access to Gemini models, Cloud Run, Vertex AI, and more
- Collaboration tools: Gmail, Google Docs, Google Chat, NotebookLM
Who Gets an Account
Accounts are limited. We prioritize teams based on:
- Team verification — all members must be Vipps-verified
- Application — you must apply for a GCP account through the platform
- Competition activity — active teams are prioritized
- Younger participants — we prioritize students and early-career developers
You don't need a GCP account to compete — you can host your endpoint anywhere. But if you don't have your own cloud environment, this is a great way to get started for free.
How to Apply
Apply for a GCP account from your team page at app.ainm.no. All team members must be Vipps-verified before applying.
Already Have Cloud Infrastructure?
If your team already has access to AWS, Azure, or your own GCP project — great! You can host your endpoints anywhere. The competition only cares about a public HTTPS URL that responds correctly.
