We\u2019re committing an initial $100 million to support our partners with training courses, dedicated technical support, and joint market development. Partners who join <a href=\"https:\/\/claude.com\/partners\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">from today<\/a> will get immediate access to a new technical certification and be eligible for investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Anthropic is focused on ensuring that our AI model, Claude, serves the needs of businesses. To do this, we\u2019ve partnered with a number of other companies. Notably, Claude is the only frontier AI model available on all three leading cloud providers: AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">We also work with large management consultancies, professional services firms, specialist AI firms, and similar agencies. These organizations help our enterprise customers identify where Claude can provide the most value to their work, and then help them get started with our AI tools. Our partners act as trusted guides in what can feel like uncharted territory: navigating the deployment requirements, compliance, and change management necessary inside large organizations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Now, we\u2019re doubling down our commitment to our partners, aiming to make it even easier for these organizations to support enterprises in adopting Claude.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">&#8220;Anthropic is the most committed AI company in the world to the partner ecosystem\u2014and we&#8217;re putting $100 million behind that this year to prove it. The certification, the co-investment, the dedicated team\u2014this infrastructure is built so that any firm, at any scale, can build a Claude practice. Our partners are instrumental in getting enterprises from proof of concept to production with Claude, and we&#8217;re making sure they have everything they need to do it.&#8221;\u2014Steve Corfield, Head of Global Business Development and Partnerships, Anthropic.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing the Claude Partner Network<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">The Claude Partner Network provides training, technical support, and joint market development for our partners helping enterprises adopt Claude. We\u2019re committing an initial $100 million to this network for 2026, and expect to invest even more over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">A significant proportion of our $100 million investment will go directly to our partners as direct support for training and sales enablement, and for market development (including work to make customer deployments successful) and co-marketing for joint campaigns and events. We\u2019re also scaling our partner-facing team fivefold, so that we can provide dedicated Applied AI engineers to partners working on live customer deals, technical architects to scope more complex implementations, and localized go-to-market support in international markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Those who join the network will have access to our Partner Portal, where we\u2019ll share our Anthropic Academy training materials, the sales playbooks used by our own go-to-market team, and other co-marketing documentation. Qualified partners will also be added to our Services Partner Directory, where enterprise buyers can find firms with Claude implementation experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Alongside the network, we\u2019re introducing the first Claude technical certification: <a href=\"https:\/\/anthropic.skilljar.com\/claude-certified-architect-foundations-access-request\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Claude Certified Architect, Foundations<\/a>, available today for partners. This is a technical exam for solution architects building production applications with Claude. Later this year, we\u2019ll introduce additional certifications for sellers, architects, and developers. Partners who join the network now will get priority access to new certifications as they roll out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Finally, we\u2019re launching a Code Modernization starter kit, which gives our partners a straightforward starting point for migrating legacy codebases and remediating enterprises\u2019 technical debt. This is one of the highest-demand enterprise workloads, and one where Claude\u2019s agentic coding capabilities most directly translate into client outcomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body-module-scss-module__z40yvW__reading-column body-2 serif post-text\">Any organization that is bringing Claude to market is eligible to join the Claude Partner Network.
