The Skyward Project: Climb Channel Solutions UK launches AI Partner Program

Climb Channel Solutions UK, an international specialty technology distributor and wholly owned subsidiary of Climb Global Solutions has launched The Skyward Project: Climb’s AI Partner Program. Designed to take partners from AI curiosity to full-scale success, The Skyward Project’s simple six-step journey leverages some of the brightest minds in AI to deliver tangible business success for the channel.

Launched officially at Climb’s Partner Summit in London yesterday (May 8), The Skyward Project offers expert-led training through the Climb AI Academy, access to a powerful platform for scaling real-world AI use cases, a rich portfolio of partner-ready solutions, and the Climb AI Business User Group, where ideas, strategies, and proven advice are shared to support and inspire partners.

The six-step journey includes:

Trailhead: Build Your AI Foundations - partners will gain access to the Climb AI Academy, where practical training, certifications, and expert insight prepare them to lead real AI conversations with customers.

Kit Check: Select the Right Solutions - Climb’s AI portfolio is built for performance: a curated mix of AI Ops tools (ManageEngine, SolarWinds) and outcome-driven solutions (Unframe, Vast, Microsoft, and more). Climb will help partners choose the right stack for their customers.

Waypoint: Identify High-Impact Use Cases - With Unframe’s unified platform, partners will be able to identify and manage AI use cases, scaling them into real, measurable results across their customers’ businesses.

The Lookout: Connect With Like-Minded AI Enthusiasts - At The Lookout, partners can connect with fellow climbers through the Climb AI Business User Group—a network of partners, technologists, and innovators solving real AI challenges, together.

The Safety Line: Navigate Risk and Compliance - The Safety Line keeps partners secure on the route ahead, with expert guidance on emerging AI regulations like the EU AI Act, evolving security frameworks, and the ethical considerations that are shaping enterprise AI.

Summit: Go to Market - Climb’s Marketing Team helps partners shape their story, sharpen their message, and go to market with the clarity and confidence to drive success.

Gerard Brophy, CRO, Climb said: “The demand for AI is real, immediate, and growing fast. Our message to channel partners is clear: your customers won’t wait for the opportunities to come to them, and neither should you. The Skyward Project enables partners to unlock AI’s ability to deliver business growth, and it does this through clarity, collaboration, and expertise.”

“The Skyward Project is built on the idea that no single vendor or partner holds all the answers to AI’s complexities. Instead of pretending otherwise, we’ve built a practical ecosystem that combines the expertise of multiple specialists, leaders, and innovators. Our goal is simple but powerful: we want to help partners turn AI from a promising technology into a driver of measurable, real-world value. And we want our partners to get there as quickly as possible,” added Brophy.

The launch of The Skyward Project follows Climb Global Solutions’ successful first quarter results for 2025. Gross billings increased 34% to $474.6 million, and net sales increased 49% to $138.0 million.
