AI as governed institutional capacity.
Ascendia’s AI direction is anchored in real public deployments. The Google relationship now sits on three 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); infrastructure — LIVRESQ accepted into Google for Startups Scale Tier (May 2026). NVIDIA Connect and National Digital Pedagogy round out the institutional frame.

Capabilities
Capabilities are stated as institutional functions, not feature lists. Where a claim has a public source, an inline footnote resolves it.
LIVRESQ accepted in the first EMEA cohort of Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for GovTech — 25 solutions globally, the only one from Romania. Three-month accelerator with mentorship from Google executives. Filed with BVB on 23 September 2025 (current report ASC 6701).
AI teacher assistant launched as a direct result of Ascendia’s participation in Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for GovTech. The first contract reported to BVB reaches more than 10,000 teachers across 800 schools in Romania. AI is treated as institutional capacity, not a feature pitch.
LIVRESQ accepted into Google for Startups Scale Tier in May 2026. The BVB filing records access to enterprise-grade Google Cloud infrastructure, Google AI technologies including Gemini and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and dedicated technical support for product development and scaling.
Transformation of institutional documents and source material into structured interactive modules. Output remains owned by the institution; the AI accelerates production rather than replacing institutional expertise.
Captioning, alt-text, and summarisation tooling inside LIVRESQ Companion. Accessibility AI is treated as a public-interest obligation aligned with the Microsoft Hall of Fame recognition.
Google Scale Tier and NVIDIA Connect provide infrastructure and technical AI-development evidence. Deployment surfaces support data-residency choices, audit logs, and review by the Data Protection Officer for regulated buyers.
