AWS re:Invent 2021: what you need to know

The new AWS Robotics Startup Accelerator-which Amazon CTO Werner Vogels announced via his blog-is open to robotics hardware and software startups from around the globe. The accelerator, which AWS is running with MassRobotics, a leader in launching innovative robotics programs, offers a range of benefits including hands-on training with AWS robotics solutions, and up to $10,000 in promotional credits to use AWS IoT, Robotics, and machine learning services.

Startups accepted into the four-week program will be able to consult with AWS and MassRobotics industry experts on business models, as well as AWS robotics experts for help overcoming technological blockers. They will also gain additional knowledge through mentoring from robotics domain experts and technical subject matter experts. To prepare for life after the accelerator, they will get business development and investment guidance from MassRobotics, and co-marketing opportunities with AWS via blogs and case studies.
