Kontich, 20 March 2026 — Cloudar, the leading Benelux AWS Premier Partner, has become the first local player in the Benelux to achieve the status of Anthropic Authorized Reseller. This makes Cloudar one of a small number of selected partners worldwide that can officially offer Anthropic’s latest Claude models (including Claude 4, 4.5, 4.6 and future models) to customers via AWS Bedrock.
A challenging process
The recognition is the result of an intensive approval process. While global players recently announced the same status, Cloudar is the first partner with a local Benelux presence to have achieved this designation. To qualify, a partner must be able to demonstrate proven revenue and a substantial Anthropic-related pipeline — a threshold that only a handful of AWS partners worldwide manage to meet.
In concrete terms, this means that Cloudar is now the only Benelux partner able to:
- Deliver enterprise seats for Anthropic
- Fully onboard customers onto the latest Anthropic models via AWS Bedrock
- Build AI solutions based on models such as Claude Code, directly on AWS infrastructure
Since the AWS policy change of October 2025, access to the latest Claude models via Bedrock requires the managing AWS partner to be officially recognised by Anthropic. Customers working with an unrecognised partner simply cannot activate these models, regardless of their own intent or budget. As a result, large organisations in the Benelux have been left out in the cold for several months. Cloudar’s recognition now puts an end to that.
Strategic advantage in a competitive market
“This partnership is no coincidence. It is the result of years of deliberate choices. From the very beginning, we committed to AWS as our sole platform and to AI as our biggest growth pillar. The Anthropic Authorized Reseller status confirms we are on the right track. For our customers, it means they can start working today with the most advanced AI models on the market, supported by a local team that guides them through the entire journey — from architecture to governance to optimisation,” says Senne Vaeyens, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Cloudar.
As the first local Benelux partner with this recognition, Cloudar can now offer organisations in the region a complete answer to their AI challenges, within the familiar AWS environment they already use. Whether it concerns a first AI experiment or a production-ready implementation on AWS Bedrock: Benelux customers no longer need to look to international players to get there.
