A tech partnership is made when two companies ideate, build, and optimize technical systems together for a business purpose. Some partnerships come about in a very straightforward way: company A is strong in development, while company B is strong in design, so they team up to design and build websites together.
Some tech partnerships start when one company builds a web application, integration, or plugin for another and the mutual interest then expands into other areas, like marketing or strategy. Still others come out of product development or simply a desire to work together long term.
There are many ways partnerships occur, and there are at least as many ways they can manifest and evolve over the course of many years.
