The pace of technology innovation is accelerating. When looking back at the terrain we've traversed together, I see incredible progress and inspiring partner success. In just the past few years of the global Cisco Partner Innovation Challenge, we've seen how our partners continue to advance great ideas with Cisco Platform APIs.

For 2024, it's about to get even better. This will be the 7th year of our Partner Innovation Challenge, and we've awarded more than $3.3M to partner winners, with submissions coming from all around the world.  This year in addition to our $200K grand prize, we're pleased to announce a new $200K award for the best AI Innovation, and are also continuing our collaboration with Partnering For Purpose which is offering a $50K prize in Sustainability, as well as two $25K awards in other categories.  

We look forward to announcing the winners of the 2024 Cisco Partner Innovation Challenge at this year's Partner Summit.
