Anthropic has announced the launch of the Claude Partner Network, a new global initiative aimed at helping enterprises accelerate the adoption of its AI model, Claude AI. The company is committing an initial $100 million investment for 2026 to support partner organisations through training programs, technical resources and joint market development initiatives.

The program is designed for consulting firms, professional services providers, and specialist AI companies that support enterprise customers in deploying and scaling AI solutions. Through the network, partners will receive structured training, certification opportunities and access to dedicated technical support teams to help organisations integrate Claude into business operations.

As part of the initiative, Anthropic plans to expand its partner-facing team fivefold. This expansion will provide partners with access to Applied AI engineers, technical architects, and localised go-to-market support to assist with complex enterprise deployments and customer implementations.

According to Steve Corfield, Head of Global Business Development and Partnerships at Anthropic, the company is strengthening its partner ecosystem to help enterprises move beyond experimental AI use cases toward full-scale production deployment.

The Claude Partner Network will also provide partners with access to a Partner Portal, which includes training resources from Anthropic Academy, sales playbooks, and co-marketing materials. Qualified partners will be featured in the company’s Services Partner Directory, allowing enterprise buyers to identify firms with proven experience implementing Claude solutions.

In addition, Anthropic has introduced its first technical certification, Claude Certified Architect – Foundations, designed for solution architects developing production-grade applications using Claude. Additional certifications for developers, architects and sales professionals are expected later this year.

The company has also launched a Code Modernisation starter kit, aimed at helping enterprises migrate legacy codebases and address technical debt. Anthropic says this toolkit will allow partners to leverage Claude’s agentic coding capabilities to modernise enterprise software systems more efficiently.

Claude is currently the only frontier AI model available across the three major cloud platforms, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft, allowing enterprises flexibility in deploying AI solutions across different cloud environments.
