Anthropic announced the Claude Partner Network on Thursday at its inaugural Partner Summit.
According to the company, a significant portion of Anthropic’s initial $100 million investment will be allocated directly to partners, supporting training and sales enablement, market development and co-marketing for joint campaigns and events.
Anthropic is also expanding its partner-facing team to support the initiative, providing dedicated Applied AI engineers to assist partners working on live customer deals, technical architects to scope more complex implementations and localized go-to-market support in international markets.
New partners will have access to a partner portal that includes Anthropic Academy training materials and other co-marketing resources. Qualified partners will also be added to the organization’s Services Partner Directory, where enterprise buyers can find firms with Claude implementation experience.
Anthropic also announced its first Claude technical certification. Claude Certified Architect, Foundations, is a technical exam for solution architects building production applications with Claude. Later in 2026, Claude will also introduce additional certifications for sellers, architects, and developers. Partners who join the network now will receive priority access to new certifications as they roll out.
In addition, the new Code Modernization starter kit gives partners a straightforward starting point for migrating legacy codebases and remediating enterprises’ technical debt.
Any organization that is bringing Claude to market is eligible to join the Claude Partner Network. Membership is free of charge, and applications are now open.
