Recognition of Growth and Innovation
The AWS Partner Awards recognize members of the AWS Partner Network who deliver outstanding results, drive innovation, and create measurable value for their customers. The Rising Star Technology Partner of the Year category celebrates technology partners that demonstrate substantial year-over-year business growth.
The award ceremony was part of the AWS Partner Summit Zurich program, which brought together AWS leaders, technology companies, and members of the regional partner community. The event focused on cloud innovation, partner growth, go-to-market opportunities, the AWS Marketplace, migration and modernization, and the growing role of generative and agentic AI.
It was held one day before AWS Summit Zurich 2026, a major gathering dedicated to cloud and AI innovation.
For Proxima Research, the award affirms the strength of a long-term strategy centered on developing specialized cloud solutions for the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. By blending deep market expertise with advanced technology, the company enables pharmaceutical organizations to improve commercial effectiveness, streamline operations, enhance engagement with healthcare professionals, and accelerate data-driven decision-making.
Building on AWS Life Sciences Competency
The award follows another important achievement in the company’s AWS journey: Proxima Research previously attained the AWS Life Sciences Competency.
This competency recognizes AWS Partners with demonstrated industry knowledge, strong technical capabilities, and proven customer success in delivering solutions for life sciences organizations. To achieve the designation, Proxima Research’s solutions underwent a rigorous technical validation and architecture review by AWS experts.
Together, the AWS Life Sciences Competency and the Alps Rising Star Technology Partner of the Year award reflect two complementary aspects of the company’s development: deep industry and technical expertise, and the ability to translate that expertise into sustainable business growth.
Cloud Technology Designed for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Central to this progress is Proxima Cloud CRM, a pharma-specific platform designed to support the entire commercial cycle. The platform integrates sales force management, territory management, visit planning and execution, marketing communications, omnichannel customer engagement, and market analytics.
Built on AWS, Proxima Cloud CRM delivers the security, reliability, scalability, and performance required by pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. AWS infrastructure enables the platform to support complex organizations, adapt to evolving business needs, and operate efficiently across multiple markets.
This combination of specialized pharmaceutical expertise and scalable cloud technology enables Proxima Research to help clients transform complex data and processes into clear, actionable business insights.
A Shared Achievement
Proxima Research extends its sincere appreciation to Federico Destefanis, ISV Scale Partner Development Manager at AWS, for his continued support and guidance in developing and scaling the company’s product on AWS.
The company also thanks Felix Schoenherr, Country General Manager, Switzerland, at AWS, and Petar Butorac, Partner Development Leader — ALPS & CEE, at AWS, for presenting the award and for celebrating this milestone with the Proxima Research team.
Above all, this achievement belongs to the people behind Proxima Research. Their expertise, dedication, and unwavering focus on client value have made the company’s ongoing growth possible.
Moving Forward Together
Being named the Alps Rising Star Technology Partner of the Year is both a recognition of progress and a motivation to advance further. Proxima Research will continue to invest in cloud technology, product innovation, and its partnership with AWS to deliver greater value for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies worldwide.
The award represents another step in the company’s mission to combine healthcare expertise, data, and technology to help clients operate more effectively, respond to changing market needs, and achieve sustainable growth.
