IBM Partners with AWS to Launch GenAI Innovation Lab in India
In November 2023, IBM expanded its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) by inaugurating a Generative AI (GenAI) Innovation Lab at the IBM Client Experience Center in Bengaluru, India. This initiative aims to assist clients in leveraging the latest technologies, including generative AI, to drive innovation across various industries.
The lab is designed to provide clients with the opportunity to explore joint IBM-AWS solutions, test prototypes, and develop proofs of value. It features experience zones focusing on different technology areas underpinned by generative AI and machine learning. These zones demonstrate applications in cloud modernization, SAP transformation, industry innovation, data and technology transformation, and cybersecurity.
As part of this collaboration, IBM Consulting plans to train and skill 10,000 consultants on AWS generative AI services by the end of 2024. This effort underscores the commitment of both companies to equip professionals with the necessary skills to implement and scale AI solutions effectively.
The partnership between IBM and AWS in establishing the GenAI Innovation Lab signifies a strategic move to accelerate the adoption of AI technologies in India, fostering a collaborative environment for innovation and technological advancement.
