This year, as advances in AI technology took center stage— I’m excited for how Microsoft partners are harnessing innovation to meet not only their customers’ business needs, but also to the world’s most pressing challenges.
We’re proud to continue to highlight Microsoft partner solutions accelerating our collective impact through the #BuildFor2030 Initiative. Focusing on the themes of gender equality, climate action and sustainability, accessibility and disability inclusion, enabling nonprofits, and empowering communities, partners are helping to contribute and make progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
As you wind down 2023 and start thinking about the year ahead, we invite you to revisit and be inspired by featured partners and their impactful solutions:
