In today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) are embracing innovation to meet the changing preferences of their customers. Recent industry trends have shown:

Fueled by the demand for innovation, automotive businesses are turning to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to transform their operating models. The complexity of the automotive industry’s challenges requires cloud partners with deep automotive experience.

To support this need, we’re excited to announce the AWS Automotive Competency, which helps AWS customers build towards an autonomous, customer-centric, and safe and sustainable future.

Launched at the IAA Mobility 2023 show in Munich, the AWS Automotive Competency highlights specialized AWS Partners offering professional services and software solutions for automotive customers across: autonomous mobility, software-defined vehicle, connected mobility, sustainability, digital customer experience, product engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain.

To achieve the AWS Automotive Competency specialization, AWS Partners must undergo a rigorous technical validation and vetted customer references. We’re thrilled to introduce the AWS Partners who collaborated with AWS to develop this new competency.
