The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards acknowledge outstanding achievements and innovations from our global and diverse partner ecosystem. We are excited to recognize Microsoft partners with a variety of awards designed to showcase solutions delivering customer success, that are built on Microsoft cloud and platforms, and encourage partners of all types, geographies, and scale to submit nominations for a Partner of the Year Award.
These awards celebrate partner achievements, cloud technologies, entrepreneurial spirit, and highlight the tremendous work done by partners in various industries and in driving social impact. The Country/Region Partner of the Year Awards recognize partner successes in over 100 countries/regions around the world.
Our partner ecosystem provides value to customers by delivering innovative solutions and services to businesses and local economies around the world, and it’s critical that those solutions and services are built to deliver meaningful outcomes for customers and to create inclusive economic opportunity. We believe technology should be a force for global good and we’re intentional about recognizing partner organizations and technology that is inclusive, trusted, and that enables a more sustainable and equitable future, empowering every person and organization to achieve more.
For the 2023 awards, given the launch timing of the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program, this is a transition year and we have made some adjustments to eligibility criteria – please see the guidelines introduction section for additional details.
