Together we achieve more

Being one of our most important partners, ORTEC is excited to join Microsoft on this learning journey. Next to the impact we create together with our customers, we welcome the Partner Pledge as an opportunity to collaborate with Microsoft and other partners in using technology for broader social and environmental challenges.

A natural fit

The four pillars of the Microsoft Partner Pledge are a great fit with our purpose and company strategy. “The shared values and priorities between Microsoft and ORTEC form an integral part of how we work and create impact”, says Patrick Hennen, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer (CTO) at ORTEC. "Through our solutions, we empower our customers to create impact by boosting their digital skills, reducing their carbon footprint and developing explainable algorithms. In addition, we believe diversity is essential to our success, committing to a non-ending journey toward a more diverse and inclusive work environment. “
