Confluent, the data streaming pioneer, today announced a $200 million investment over the next three years to fuel the growth, reach, and impact of its global partner ecosystem. This commitment will expand opportunities for Confluent partners to make data streaming a strategic part of their businesses, opening new revenue streams and use cases. Helping customers navigate an increasingly real-time, AI-driven world is only possible with a strong, global partner ecosystem, which includes cloud service providers, independent software vendors, system integrators, and managed service providers.
“We’re on a mission to drive trust and transparency in blockchain, and that is only achievable with quick, easy access to real-time, reliable data,” said Ethan Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of Allium. “Confluent enables us to seamlessly connect diverse data sources, from blockchains and core financial systems to cloud-based analytics platforms. With the technology and expertise provided by Confluent and its partners, we’ve built a high-performance data backbone that enables us to grow rapidly and deliver trusted blockchain insights to more customers faster.”
To Realize AI’s Promise, Business Must Start with “AI-Ready” Data
AI is set to fundamentally transform how businesses operate. However, delivering on that promise is only possible if organizations have the technology and expertise to properly manage, govern, and connect real-time data. According to the July 2025 IDC Perspective, “for organizations to fully realize the potential of artificial intelligence, they must first ensure they have ‘AI-ready’ data. This readiness is not solely about adopting AI tools but more about building the foundational infrastructure, processes, and culture required to support AI initiatives at scale.”
“Data streaming is the lifeblood of AI and the foundation for the next wave of transformative applications,” said Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President, Worldwide ISV and APAC at Confluent. “The opportunity ahead is massive, and we believe it will be defined by those who can move and build together. We invite technology leaders, integrators, and domain experts to join us in helping organizations harness real-time data to innovate faster, operate smarter, and stay ahead of the curve.”
