Enabling the Next Generation of Innovation
As technologies mature, they move from being novel capabilities to commodities. There’s an opportunity for startups to catch new waves of capabilities, and to build completely new products that previously weren’t feasible. AWS has been taking on “undifferentiated heavy lifting” for many years, but also has some groundbreaking new capabilities in hardware platforms, IoT, serverless and artificial intelligence technologies. In this talk we’ll focus on these new areas, and discuss examples of startup companies building new kinds of businesses on AWS.
