At Salesforce, we believe trust is our #1 value and the foundation of everything we do. We call our community of employees, customers, and partners "Trailblazers" - people who reach across roles, companies, and industries to help one another learn, grow, and succeed. Since 1999, we've pioneered software as a Service (SaaS), bringing Customer Relationship Management to the cloud and continuously innovating to help our customers succeed. Our founders launched the 1-1-1 model, committing 1% of our equity, technology, and employees' time to improving education, equality, and the environment for everyone. We're not a typical company, and that's by design. Our core values - trust, customer success, innovation, equality, and sustainability - guide everything we do. We've been leaders in AI for over a decade, and with Agentforce, we're defining a new era of customer engagement where autonomous agents work alongside humans. When our customers succeed, we succeed, which is why over 150,000 companies worldwide trust Salesforce to drive growth. We believe business is the greatest platform for change, and we're passionate proponents of stakeholder capitalism, committed to doing well by all our stakeholders - customers, employees, partners, communities, the planet, and society as a whole.

CARIAD, Inc. exists to transform mobility from hardware-driven to software-defined vehicles. As the Volkswagen Group's automotive software company, we are building an end-to-end mobility platform that will scale to power billions of real-world miles. Our platform enables us to analyze real-time data from millions of cars on the road worldwide, learn from that data, and develop new features and services tailored to users' needs.

Our teams focus on connected car & device platforms, intelligent body & cockpit, automated driving, vehicle motion & energy, and digital business and mobility services. We are creating one scalable tech stack for automated driving, parking, and advanced driver assistance systems, while also developing innovative applications for electric vehicle services, emergency services, remote services, intelligent navigation and parking, maintenance prediction, fleet management, concierge services, and software updates. By bringing automotive engineering and software development closer together, we're making mobility safer, more sustainable, more comfortable, and more connected for millions worldwide.

In 2007, three friends gathered around a makeshift kitchen table in Copenhagen with a simple but powerful realization: customer service software was broken. The tools were clunky, expensive, and designed for IT departments rather than the people who actually needed them - customers and support agents. Mikkel Svane, Morten Primdahl, and Alexander Aghassipour set out to change that by building something different: a beautifully simple, cloud-based platform that would bring calm to the often chaotic world of customer support. What started as beer-stained brainstorming sessions on that Danish kitchen table has grown into a global force serving over 100,000 companies worldwide. Zendesk's journey from Copenhagen to San Francisco represents more than just geographic expansion - it's a testament to the founders' vision that great customer experiences shouldn't be complicated. Today, Zendesk powers exceptional service for millions of conversations daily, with AI agents and intelligent workflows helping teams resolve issues faster while building lasting customer relationships. The company that began with three friends and a laptop now stands as a champion of customer service, proving that when you simplify complexity and prioritize human connections, extraordinary things happen.

In 2023, three founders with deep roots in engineering and logistics realized something profound: while AI was transforming consumer technology, the industries that move our physical world - supply chains, freight, logistics - remained stuck in manual, inefficient processes. Pablo Palafox, his brother Javier Palafox, and Luis Paarup saw that these real-economy businesses were drowning in repetitive communication tasks: endless phone calls to book loads, check shipments, and coordinate schedules. They understood the solution wasn't just better chatbots, but an AI-native operating system that could truly handle end-to-end work with human-like intelligence. So they built HappyRobot - an AI workforce platform that doesn't just augment human workers but autonomously manages complex operations across phone, email, messaging, and documents. Starting with logistics and industrial operations, HappyRobot has grown rapidly, deploying AI workers across over 150 enterprise customers including DHL and Ryder. With $62 million in funding from top-tier investors like Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz, the company is now expanding to redefine how the real economy operates, freeing humans to focus on strategy and creativity while AI handles the patterned work at scale.
