About Microsoft

• A mission to help everyone achieve more

  Microsoft works to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Through Azure AI and its frontier model partnerships, and through Copilot across work and life, Microsoft is putting AI into the hands of billions of people — and into the hands of the enterprises, startups, and public institutions building with it.

• Why we partner

  The AI economy in Massachusetts is built by companies that show up for the community, and Microsoft has shown up for ours for years. Boston AI Week is proud to welcome Microsoft as a sponsor of the 2026 festival, and to stand together in making Massachusetts the leading AI economy.
