About the AWS GenAI Accelerator Program

Selected startups will receive up to $1 million in AWS credits to develop, train, test, and deploy their generative AI solutions. The credits can be used on Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock, tools for developing and deploying generative AI applications. To further leverage ML and AI technologies, startups can also leverage a variety of AWS services to support their growth, including AWS compute, storage, and database technologies, as well as AI chips like AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia 2, the company said. “At AWS, our $230 million commitment and the global expansion of the Generative AI Accelerator reflect our continued focus on helping startups develop, build, and scale their unique ideas using generative AI,” said Amitabh Nagpal, head of startup business development at AWS India.

Announced in June, the 10-week program is part of AWS’s $230 million commitment to accelerate the adoption of Gen AI-based applications worldwide.
