Amazon Web Services (AWS), an amazon.com company, is aiming to become a billion-dollar-a-year business. It is a startup revolution . As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels said, with AWS all you need is an idea, a credit card and a dream. Amazon holds an annual contest, the AWS Start-Up Challenge, to realise this philosophy.
The AWS Start-up Challenge launched in 2007 is back, sweeping across the planet. Fifteen regional prizes (five each from the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe/Middle East/Africa) and one global grand prize to be awarded to start-ups with the most innovative businesses built in the AWS cloud. The global grand prize winner will be awarded with $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in AWS credits
Amazon is focused not just on the silicon valley but it wants to reach the global hotbeds to find 'the next big thing.'
