We are excited to announce our regional 2023 AWS Partners of the Year from Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). This year’s partner award winners can be proud of the contributions they have made to empower organizations to make data-driven decisions and save costs whilst also achieving certifications to better meet customers’ evolving needs. Working side by side with AWS Partners, we are stronger when supporting customers together and look forward to strengthening our partnerships in 2024.

Each year, we honor members of the AWS Partner Network (APN) from around the globe that play key roles in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on AWS. Announced during a Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent, the 2023 Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of partners whose business models have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year. Please join us in congratulating these AWS Partners for their continued success!

These changes will help fund small and large migrations to AWS across different workloads.
