Liquid C2, a business of Cassava Technologies and a global technology leader of African heritage, has announced that its Cloudmania division has been named the 2025 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award winner for Egypt. The accolade places Cloudmania among an elite group of global partners recognised for excellence in innovation and the implementation of customer solutions built on Microsoft technologies.
The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards celebrate organisations that deliver outstanding cloud applications, services, devices, and AI innovation. This year’s winners were selected from more than 4,600 nominations across over 100 countries, making Cloudmania’s win a significant achievement in the highly competitive ecosystem.
A Major Milestone for Cloudmania in Egypt
Launched in Egypt in 2024, Cloudmania has swiftly established itself as a trusted, channel-first distributor supporting managed service providers, system integrators, and independent software vendors. Its work in driving cloud adoption and digital transformation for businesses in Egypt played a key role in securing the award.
“This award is an incredible milestone for Cloudmania. In just one year of operations in Egypt, we’ve built a strong network of partners committed to delivering cloud and AI solutions that empower businesses, accelerate digital transformation, and drive sustainable growth,” said Sherif Shaltout, Managing Executive, MENA at Liquid C2. “This recognition underscores our role as the distributor of choice for Microsoft solutions in the Egyptian market and reinforces our commitment to enabling Africa’s digital future.”
Cloudmania’s initiatives, including its Startup Accelerator Programme, have helped entrepreneurs and small enterprises access Microsoft’s transformative cloud tools, training programmes, and go-to-market resources—further cementing its role in fostering digital innovation.
Recognition from Microsoft
Congratulating the winners, Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, noted:
“Congratulations to all the winners and finalists of the 2025 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards. This year, our partners harnessed the transformative power of Microsoft’s Cloud and AI platforms to deliver solutions that redefine innovation. The 2025 honourees exemplify what’s possible when technology and vision unite to empower customers around the world.”
Expanding Influence Across the Continent
Cloudmania’s win in Egypt follows previous Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards in Ethiopia (2022) and Côte d’Ivoire (2023), further solidifying its growing footprint across the MENA region and Africa at large. The achievement aligns with Cassava Technologies’ ambition to lead digital transformation across its chosen markets.
The 2025 awards come ahead of Microsoft Ignite, scheduled for November 18–21 in San Francisco. More details on this year’s winners and categories are available on the Microsoft Partner Blog.
