MUNICH, GERMANY. 29 JANUARY 2025 – Climb Channel Solutions (Climb), an international specialty technology distributor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Climb Global Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMB), today announces the signing of multiple vendor partnerships and a senior addition to its team in the DACH region – a sign of intent since launching its presence in the region last October (2024).
International IT distributor Climb expanded its European presence with its new branch for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which officially opened in Munich on 1 October. Since then, Climb has signed several significant vendor partnerships including VAST, Canonical, Censys, Cynerio, SolarWinds, Superna and most recently Unframe AI.
Mauro Papini, EMEA Channel Director, Canonical commented on the partnership with Climb: “We are delighted to partner with Climb Channel Solutions in the DACH region and are excited to work closely with Martin and his team. In a short time, we have made significant progress, and we are looking forward to driving growth and success together in 2025.”
Team growth
To support this momentum and to drive further growth, Climb has appointed Maik Hahn, the new Business Development Manager for Germany. Maik will work directly with Martin Bichler, Climb’s Regional Country Manager for DACH.
“I am very pleased to welcome Maik to the DACH team. Maik is a seasoned channel operator that has the relationships to help us deliver on our growth objectives,” explains Martin Bichler, Regional Country Manager DACH, Climb. “In a very short space of time, Climb has already had a significant impact in DACH with the signing of multiple major vendors, and there are lots more conversations taking place. For us, the hard work of further establishing Climb in DACH gathers pace.”
AI Academy interest
To officially announce its entry to the DACH region, Climb launched its own competence center for artificial intelligence with the ‘Climb AI Academy’, which offers IT partners a framework with custom AI training and helps them to gain a foothold in the booming AI market and stake their claims there. Since the launch, interest in the AI Academy has surged and partners are now looking ahead at an extensive schedule of training throughout 2025.
Based on the uptake and success in the DACH region, Climb now plans to take the AI Academy to the UK and Irish markets in 2025.
AI Readiness campaign for partners
In addition to the AI Academy, Climb will launch the ‘AI Readiness’ campaign for DACH partners in 2025. This integrated campaign will educate partners on how they ensure their customers’ infrastructure is ready and secure if they’re looking to implement AI tools within their IT environment.
