The shortlisted startups will get the opportunity to explore how best to leverage space data and learn to build secure and scalable solutions using AWS technologies in Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, data analytics, and more. The accelerator will also provide startups with the know-how on go-to-market strategies, fundraising, and business fundamentals, enabling them with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in the competitive space tech landscape.

“This is the fourth consecutive year that AWS has run a Space Accelerator programme, but the first one we’ve tied to one specific country”, Clint Crosier, Director of the Aerospace and Satellite business at AWS says. “We specifically chose to hold this first country-focused space accelerator in India, because we see extraordinary growth opportunities in the Indian space sector. There are a record number of new Indian space startups forming, there is strong support from the Government of India as evidenced by our MoU with ISRO and IN-SPACe, and India has some of the best educated and proficient talent in the world in the technical areas that encompass space. We are pleased to see many talented space startups participate in this exciting programme.”

 The shortlisted startups also stand to receive up to $100,000 cumulatively in AWS credits and support to build and scale their solutions. The accelerator is supported by T-Hub, an innovation hub and ecosystem enabler, and Minfy, an AWS Premier Partner.
