As announced on November 6 during our AI Tour, we're excited to introduce the Digital Sovereignty specialization.
We designed this specialization so partners can capitalize on rising demand for sovereign cloud solutions as governments and critical industries seek data sovereignty and security in response to global uncertainty. This is a key growth opportunity as market demand for data, application, and infrastructure sovereignty increases.
Starting in early 2026, partners who meet certain criteria can attain the Digital Sovereignty specialization. Here's what to know:
- This specialization signals to customers your deep technical expertise in designing, implementing, and managing sovereign cloud environments, including data operations, technical, and AI sovereignty.
- Attainment gives you access to benefits aligned to the specialization, including incentives, specialized badging, and increased discoverability.
- Microsoft will prioritize your organization for sovereign cloud opportunities.
Partners who are interested in attaining this specialization must complete audit requirements and enroll via Partner Center. For more details, review the Digital Sovereignty specialization deck.
