Public Sector Innovation Centers

Showcasing the art of the possible

Overview

Public sector innovation centers provide an opportunity to collaborate on pressing challenges, test new ideas with Amazon’s innovation process, and access the technology expertise of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Any nonprofit, education, or government organization can apply to work on a challenge with our global network of innovation centers. Organizations bring their expertise and work through a challenge engagement, uncover new ways to solve complex problems, and develop offerings on AWS.
