Lessons from AWS on Innovation, Teams, and Business

Take part in Tech in Asia’s pre-Conference workshop, hosted in conjunction with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Key decision makers at Amazon will share lessons about innovation, resource and manpower management, and Amazon’s suite of solutions, created with businesses front and centre.

Part 1: Amazon Culture of Innovation

Led by Andrew Vranjes, Head of Startup Ecosystem, ASEAN, AWS

Take a behind-the-scenes look at Amazon’s 20+ years of innovation and find out how startups can apply AWS’s principles to launch and scale their businesses:

  • How AWS structures its teams for autonomy and speed,
  • How AWS decides where to focus its engineering efforts, and
  • Tactical lessons you can implement immediately, such as:
  1. The importance of being driven by customer obsession and
  2. How embracing failures can lead to your most innovative ideas
  • Why startups love AWS, which covers an overview of AWS’ startup programs such as AWS Jumpstart, Startup Mentorship, AWS Startup Proof of Concept, Alexa for Startups, and more.

Part 2: From 1 to 200 – Choosing the Right Solutions for Your Startup, at the Right Time

Led by: Andrew Wangsanata, Senior Startup Solution Architect, ASEAN, AWS

You have a vision for how you want your product to perform; now you just need to put the right tools in place to make it happen.

How do you decide what’s best for your startup? AWS alone has 200+ services.

Whether you’re looking to go server-less, build containers, or want to get something up and running quickly, AWS Startup Solution Architects will break down:

  • The key services you should consider on Day One, and
  • The services to add on as your startup starts to scale.

The workshop will close with a Q&A.
