New program empowers distributors to deliver localized language support and accelerate adoption of the Falcon platform

AUSTIN, Texas and Fal.Con Europe, Barcelona – November 4, 2025 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today introduced its new Authorized Support Partner Program across Europe. Developed in collaboration with strategic distributors Ignition Technology and Westcon-Comstor, the program authorizes them to sell and deliver multilingual, localized Level 1 and Level 2 support for the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform in English, French, German, Spanish, and Arabic. 

Independent research from Canalys found that for every $1 of Falcon platform sales, partners can generate up to $7 in services revenue – validating CrowdStrike’s ecosystem-led model as a leading engine of partner profitability. Building on this momentum, the Authorized Support Partner Program empowers distributors to deliver CrowdStrike-approved, localized support that downstream partners such as managed service providers (MSPs) and resellers can extend to their own customers. The program expands capacity, increases access for smaller organizations, and strengthens local language expertise across the region.

“Distributors play a pivotal role in extending CrowdStrike’s reach and impact across Europe,” said Dan Danielli, vice president of global distribution at CrowdStrike. “Through this program, we’re enabling distributors to deliver services that add real customer value through localized language support, managed services, and improved security outcomes. It’s a force multiplier that strengthens the entire ecosystem and helps more customers get the most out of the Falcon platform.”

“Ignition Technology is proud to help bring CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform to an expanding ecosystem of regional service providers across Europe,” said Peter Ledger, CEO of Ignition Technology. “We’ve seen tremendous traction with CrowdStrike, consistently growing our business and partner base as demand surges for Falcon-powered services. This new model strengthens our collaboration even further – accelerating our ability to equip partners with the full breadth of technology, enablement, and localized support they need to deliver world-class cybersecurity outcomes to their customers.”

“This initiative underscores the powerful growth of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and the continued strength of our partnership,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market of Westcon-Comstor. “We’re seeing extraordinary demand across Europe as partners embrace the Falcon platform to deliver industry-leading cybersecurity outcomes. By expanding localized support and enablement, we’re not only meeting that demand – we’re helping service providers scale faster, operate more efficiently, and protect their customers with greater speed, precision, and confidence.”

• 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with SK Innovation E&S to add 16 MW of renewable electricity capacity starting in December 2027
• Supports Merck’s 2030 sustainability targets to source 80% renewable electricity and reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50%

Merck, a leading science and technology company, has signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SK Innovation E&S to deliver 16 megawatts (MW) of new renewable electricity capacity for its Life Science sites in Daejeon and Songdo, South Korea. This PPA is the company’s longest renewable energy commitment in APAC and underscores its leadership in manufacturing sustainability as a driver of business innovation. 

“This agreement reflects our long-term commitment to manufacturing sustainability,” said Tim Jaeger, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Life Science business of Merck. “By adding renewable electricity to the grid for our operations in South Korea, we are taking further measures to reduce our environmental impact and enabling our customers do the same.”

When operational in late 2027, the PPA will provide approximately 21,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting approximately 75% of its Life Science business’s electricity demand in South Korea.

This new agreement builds on Merck’s global renewable energy portfolio, which includes virtual PPAs in Europe and North America, as well as additional PPAs and onsite installations worldwide. Together, these initiatives keep the company on track to achieve its 2030 target of sourcing 80% of purchased electricity from renewable sources ahead of schedule and to reach climate-neutral operations by 2040.
