Strategic Partnership

Definitions

1. A partnership intended to create meaningful long-term strategic value, such as distribution, data access, joint selling, or ecosystem positioning, rather than just a small tactical integration. Many deals are called strategic partnerships, but only some truly change the business.

   In plain English: A partnership intended to create significant longer-term business advantage.

   Example: "The integration itself was minor, but the strategic partnership opened procurement paths into major accounts."
