AI as governed institutional capacity.
Ascendia’s AI direction is anchored in real public deployments. The Google relationship sits on two distinct records: programme — LIVRESQ selected for the first EMEA cohort of Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for GovTech (Sep 2025); product — LIVRESQ Companion, the teacher assistant launched as a direct result of that participation, with a first BVB-disclosed contract reaching 10,000+ teachers (Apr 2026). NVIDIA Connect and National Digital Pedagogy round out the institutional frame.
