Coming soon: the Frontier Partner specialization
The Frontier Partner specialization in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program recognizes partners skilled in AI agents. This specialization is one of two Frontier-focused offerings, highlighting expertise across Microsoft's AI stack. Partners achieving this will demonstrate deep AI agent capabilities to customers. They will also receive benefits like enhanced visibility and co-sell opportunities. Additionally, eligible partners will gain access to agent prepurchase credits and advanced licensing. Go-to-market resources and dedicated support are also provided through the program. Enrollment for this specialization opens later in fiscal year 2027. To qualify, partners must meet three core requirements simultaneously. These include holding four specific prerequisite specializations, demonstrating advanced skilling with particular badges and certifications, and passing a third-party audit. The audit validates a partner's end-to-end delivery capability for AI agents.
