These Trailblazers are part of what makes Salesforce unique and that’s why each year we celebrate the successes of our partner ecosystem with the Salesforce Partner Innovation Awards.

What makes the entire Salesforce partner ecosystem so incredibly unique and powerful is their collective commitment to helping companies embrace innovation to successfully transform the way their customers run their businesses.

Innovation evolves at lightning speed, and the ways it’s harnessed to solve customer challenges is inspiring. We can’t wait to see the solutions that the 2018 Partner Innovation Award submissions include.
