Microsoft has named Sulava, the AI and Copilot specialist within The Digital Neighborhood, as the winner of the 2025 Global Copilot and AI Agent Partner of the Year Award. The recognition highlights Sulava’s leadership in embedding AI and Copilot into enterprise workflows, transforming insights, collaboration, and operational efficiency for global clients.
For many organizations, AI has graduated from pilot projects and productivity hacks to become a strategic differentiator. Sulava’s work with Microsoft Copilot and AI Agents exemplifies this shift, helping businesses turn AI from a tool into a teammate—accelerating decision-making, improving customer insights, and delivering measurable ROI on technology investments.
AI at Enterprise Scale
Sulava’s recognition is particularly notable given the competition: Microsoft received over 4,600 nominations from more than 100 countries for its Partner of the Year awards. The Copilot and AI Agent category rewards partners redefining business impact through scalable AI workflows and enterprise-grade intelligence, demonstrating measurable value beyond experimental deployments.
“AI has become the new operating system for innovation and performance in business, and our more than 2,400 customers are proving what’s possible when it’s applied with purpose,” said Jean-Yves Charlier, CEO of The Digital Neighborhood. “This award from Microsoft recognises how that partnership is delivering real change, not experiments.”
Why Sulava Stands Out
Headquartered in Amsterdam, The Digital Neighborhood boasts one of Europe’s strongest Microsoft partnerships, with two inner-circle Microsoft seats, 23 Microsoft MVPs, and elite certifications across Azure, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, and security programs. Sulava, based in Finland, has been a pioneer in commercial Copilot deployments, participating in exclusive Copilot programs, market-launch previews, and shaping enterprise AI adoption across the Microsoft ecosystem.
According to Ira Keskitalo, CEO of Sulava, “AI only matters when it changes how people work and how operational practices evolve. This award shows what our Digital Neighborhood customers have achieved by applying Copilot and AI Agents with intent—faster insight, smarter collaboration, and meaningful results.”
Microsoft’s Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer, added, “The 2025 honorees exemplify what’s possible when technology and vision unite to empower customers around the world. The energy and ingenuity across our ecosystem continue to inspire us.”
The award underscores the growing importance of enterprise AI adoption. As Copilot and AI Agents become core to operational workflows, partners like Sulava are proving that the companies most successful in AI aren’t just experimenting—they’re embedding intelligence into the fabric of everyday business.
