UIPath, a global leader in automation and AI agents, has selected Ahmed Al-Atwan as a Maximum Valuable Professional (MVP) for 2026. He joins an elite group of experts and practitioners from over 35 countries worldwide. Al-Atwan shared on LinkedIn that his selection came after a series of interviews with the company's technical team. He emphasized that this honor truly reflects his dedication to sharing knowledge, educating others, and helping to grow the global automation community. He added, "I'm so happy to be among such an elite group of experts in this rapidly expanding field, and to be recognized by the company that really paved the way for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies." The MVP program celebrates a select group of community leaders who bring together hands-on experience with UIPath products and a passion for sharing their knowledge. These program members are often the first to test out Agentic Automation and put it into action in real production environments, not just in demos. The UiPath Community MVP program kicked off in 2018. Since then, it has blossomed into a global platform that fosters collaboration between automation experts and the wider tech community. It also strengthens direct connections between MVPs, UIPath leadership, and the P&E team. The expertise of these members spans every corner of the UIPath ecosystem, from RPA and traditional workflows to Agentic Orchestration, the UiPath Test Cloud platform, and programmatic automation, all with a strong focus on sharing practical lessons learned from the field. Here's a quick look at the 2026 MVPs: 135 MVPs from 35 countries, showcasing incredible global diversity. They represent 100 organizations (36 clients, 53 partners). 15 MVPs have been part of the program for 6 years or more. 30 are first-time MVPs, bringing fresh energy and new perspectives.
