Hangzhou, China – Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently gathered industry leaders, technology experts, and customers at its AWS Summit in Hangzhou, highlighting its latest innovations in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate digital transformation across China.

The event, held at the Hangzhou International Expo Center, attracted thousands of attendees. It focused on how organizations can leverage the AWS Cloud, particularly generative AI and industry-specific solutions, to build, scale, and innovate.

Unleashing the Power of Generative AI

A central theme was the democratization of generative AI. AWS showcased its comprehensive stack of tools and services, including Amazon Bedrock for accessing foundation models, Amazon SageMaker for building machine learning models, and AWS Inferentia chips for cost-effective inference. Technical sessions demonstrated how businesses can rapidly develop and deploy secure, scalable generative AI applications.

Industry-Specific Solutions and Customer Success

The summit featured deep-dive tracks for key industries such as automotive, financial services, media, and manufacturing. Customer speakers, including representatives from leading Chinese enterprises and startups, shared real-world case studies. They detailed how migrating to AWS or building new cloud-native applications has enhanced their agility, improved operational efficiency, and enabled groundbreaking services.

Commitment to the China Region

AWS executives reiterated the company's long-term commitment to the China market through its local partner, Sinnet. They emphasized continuous investment in infrastructure, services, and the partner ecosystem within the AWS China (Ningxia) Region operated by Sinnet and the AWS China (Beijing) Region operated by ChinaNetCenter. This ensures customers in China have access to secure, resilient, and low-latency cloud services.

Empowering Developers and Partners

A dedicated zone featured hands-on labs and workshops, allowing developers to gain practical experience with the latest AWS services. The partner expo highlighted solutions from dozens of AWS Partner Network (APN) members, showcasing a vibrant ecosystem ready to support customers on their cloud journey.

“The AWS Summit Hangzhou is a testament to the vibrant innovation happening in the Yangtze River Delta and across China,” said a senior AWS executive. “We are excited to provide our customers and partners with the most capable cloud infrastructure and advanced technologies like generative AI.
