Overview

When Dr Michelle Perugini, Presagen CEO and co-founder had the idea to build an Adelaide-based healthcare social network connecting clinics and medical data from around the world to build affordable, accessible AI-based healthcare products, they not only needed a partner that had global infrastructure and support but to also help them get the idea off the ground. They enrolled in the AWS Activate program which provided the startup AWS credits and technical expertise, allowing them to build a world-class, global scale product.

AWS Activate is just one of the many programs that we offer beyond our infrastructure services to support startups as they launch, grow, and scale. These webinars will take you through the benefits of these programs that are designed to give you the right mix of tools and expert support, so you can succeed with AWS while optimising performance, managing risk, and keeping costs under control.
