The new Adobe program grants early‑stage companies twelve months of complimentary use of its artificial‑intelligence tools to speed up brand development and content production.

Adobe has launched a new initiative that gives startups founded within the last five years a full year of free access to its AI‑powered creative suite. The program is designed to help early‑stage companies accelerate brand development, streamline content production, and experiment with generative tools without upfront costs.
