Bringing Global Brands Together to Drive
Digital Transformation in EMEA
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of the Alibaba Group,
today launched the EMEA Ecosystem Partner Program, an
initiative to further strengthen the collaboration between Alibaba
Cloud’s customers and partners in Europe, Middle East and
Africa.
The Program will focus on four key areas: the development of
digital transformation in targeted vertical industries, supporting
talent development, advancing technology innovation and enhancing
marketplaces.
Leading industry players such as Intel, Accenture, Hashicorp,
Ecritel, Altran, Micropole and Linkbynet are among the initial
participants in the EMEA Ecosystem Partner Program. In addition,
Station F, the world’s biggest start-up campus, has incorporated
the program in their exclusive Perks for their 1,000 start-ups. The
collective mission is to create an inclusive ecosystem that can
benefit all those involved, particularly the customers in the EMEA
region.
“Our goal in EMEA is to bring powerful and elastic cloud
services to our customers and create a well-connected,
comprehensive ecosystem with our partners to accelerate cloud
technology development in the regional cloud industry,” said Yeming
Wang, general manager of Alibaba Cloud EMEA.
“As a global cloud industry leader, Alibaba Cloud brings to EMEA
cutting-edge cloud technologies and experience and expertise to
drive innovations across various verticals. We aim to empower our
customers as they undergo their own digital transformation which
will greatly improve their business efficiency and ability to
provide a positive experience for their customers,” Wang said.
The Program was announced at the Ecosystem Summit EMEA 2018
hosted by Alibaba Cloud at Station F in Paris. The one-day summit
attracted nearly 400 representatives from private enterprises,
public institutions, technology developers, channel partners and
start-ups.
As part of Alibaba’s commitment to incubate a wider technology
ecosystem and support start-ups with the best-in-class cloud
computing services, Alibaba Cloud hosted a series of Create@Alibaba
Cloud Start-up Contests EMEA last year.
“We are committed to foster innovation and nurture local talent,
which is why we are excited to have held our Summit today at
Station F, a campus which gathers a whole start-up ecosystem under
one roof here in Paris. We hope that the Summit has inspired
companies of all sizes and demonstrated Alibaba Cloud’s belief in
working together for the future of the industry,” Wang added.
Separately, Alibaba Group and Bolloré Group earlier today
announced a global partnership. Under the agreement, Alibaba Cloud
will work jointly with Bolloré and provide a comprehensive suite of
solutions that encompasses cloud computing capabilities, big data,
artificial intelligence, content delivery network and security
solutions.
Alibaba Cloud Ecosystem Summit 2018 is being hosted in four
locations across the year as an ongoing event to connect and
inform. Paris is the second stop after the Hong Kong inaugural
event. The third stop will be three cities in India in mid-July
followed by the final event in Singapore in mid-August.
