Arrow Electronics, a global provider of technology solutions, has been awarded the Geography and Global AWS Partner Award 2025 in the ‘Rising Star Distributor Partner of the Year EMEA’ category, recognizing distributors who are in the early stages of their collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and have demonstrated significant momentum in activating new business alongside various channel partners.
The award was announced during the awards ceremony held at the AWS re:Invent 2025 event, where channel partners from around the world were honored for their commitment to specialization, innovation, and collaboration over the past year. These awards also recognize partners whose business models continue to evolve and grow within the AWS ecosystem, providing value and support to their customers.
AWS particularly highlights Arrow’s work in the EMEA region, where the company has driven the migration of numerous organizations to the cloud through scalable programs, specialized technical training, and close collaboration with partners and clients.
“Being recognized by AWS is a tremendous achievement for Arrow,” said Nick Bannister, President of Arrow’s Enterprise Computing Solutions division in EMEA. “This award underscores the impact of our innovative programs and the strength of our regional collaboration as we continue to accelerate cloud transformation.”
The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards combined categories open for self-nominations — evaluated by the independent consulting firm Canalys, which analyzed the presented success stories — with others based on performance metrics from the past year, also audited by Canalys to ensure objectivity.
The AWS Partner Network (APN), the global program that structures AWS’s relationship with its channel partners, aims to promote innovation, accelerate cloud adoption, and maximize the use of Amazon Web Services’ services and capabilities by companies worldwide.
