Palantir Technologies has formed a strategic alliance with Accenture Federal Services to expand the use of artificial-intelligence software across U.S. government agencies. Under the agreement, Accenture Federal becomes Palantir’s preferred implementation partner for federal customers, combining the consulting firm’s systems-integration expertise with Palantir’s data-analytics and AI platforms. The companies said they will initially co-develop three service offerings aimed at modernising agency operations, though details were not disclosed. The collaboration deepens Palantir’s push into public-sector work and gives Accenture a larger role in the fast-growing market for AI-driven government modernisation. Palantir shares rose roughly 4.7% in pre-market trading after the announcement.
