These partnerships give us two perspectives: that of companies already implementing AI and that of academia, which is researching its integration into society.
Working every day with such a diverse range of organizations also helps us bridge the gap between education and professional application. This gives our students a better understanding of how to make the most of AI in their day-to-day work.
Microsoft, an Essential Partner
Our collaboration with Microsoft is essential to our mission of making artificial intelligence education accessible to people and organizations. Founderz is a Microsoft Global Training Partner, which means we collaborate with its technology and training ecosystem to develop programs related to innovation, productivity, and AI.
Through this partnership, we can integrate Microsoft technologies and tools widely used in business environments into our programs, while keeping our content aligned with current digital developments. It also gives our students the opportunity to earn a Microsoft-backed certificate upon completing programs we have developed together, such as the Master’s in AI and Innovation.
One of the milestones of this partnership was being recognized as Best Training Partner at the 2025 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards in Spain, through which Microsoft recognizes partners with a strong commitment to innovation, digital skills development, and the adoption of artificial intelligence in professional and educational environments.
