+# Announcing LambdaTest as Appium Strategic Partner
+
+After recently celebrating the 1-year anniversary of our [Sponsorship Program and Compensation
+Scheme](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/blog/2024/05/14/announcing-appiums-sponsorship-program/),
+the Appium project is very excited to announce that <a
+href="https://lambdatest.com/?utm_source=appium.io&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=june_25&utm_term=sk&utm_content=webpage">LambdaTest</a>
+is coming on board as one of our Strategic Partners!

+
+Having long been active in the Appium community and the automated testing industry, LambdaTest is
+now significantly stepping up their investment into these areas. With the decision to come on board
+as a Strategic Partner, LambdaTest will support the Appium project through financial contribution
+as well as contribution of code and project maintenance. Obviously, without the generous support of
+partners like LambdaTest, we would not be able to continue our contributor compensation scheme,
+which has seen the release of a substantial amount of funds to Appium maintainers and contributors
+over the last year. Thanks again to LambdaTest, and stay tuned for more collaboration updates
+throughout the year!
