Amazon Web Services Launches First Space Tech Accelerator Programme in India With Support From T-Hub and Minfy

Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Wednesday launched the first space tech accelerator programme in India with support from T-Hub and Minfy.

AWS Space Accelerator: India, a technical, business, and mentorship opportunity designed to foster startups focused on space technology, and accelerate their development.

This is AWS’ first accelerator programme focused on startups in the space sector, and follows the MoU it signed with ISRO and IN-SPACe in September last year, which envisions to nurture startups in space tech and support innovation in the sector.

“Technologies such as generative AI open transformative opportunities for space-tech, and we are committed to help startups innovate and develop sustainable solutions for the space sector,” Clint Crosier, Director, Aerospace and Satellite, AWS, said in a statement. Applications for the AWS Space Accelerator: India programme are now open for submission.

According to the company, the 14-week accelerator programme will provide India-based startups with dedicated business resources, expertise, and guidance around technology and business capabilities, and help them leverage AWS to build, grow, and scale their missions.
