Beyond the Lab
Build. Validate. Scale. Powered by AWS. A research-to-market innovation bootcamp bridging academia, cloud technology and commercialization.
// The gap we close
Great research shouldn't stop at publication.
Across universities and research institutions, groundbreaking ideas are developed every day. But moving from research to a scalable, market-ready solution remains a challenge. Beyond the Lab is a hands-on bootcamp designed to bridge the gap between researchers, scientists and the market — helping participants transform promising research into practical solutions using AWS as the technology enabler.
The Journey
From scientific idea to market-ready innovation.
Step 1
Research
Arrive with the science, data and ideas.
Step 2
Cloud
Translate research into AWS architecture.
Step 3
Prototype
Build a working PoC on real infrastructure.
Step 4
Validate
Benchmark, test and prove it at scale.
Step 5
Market
Position it for real-world adoption.
What participants finish with
AWS already has resources to support researchers. We help researchers discover them — and become ready to use them.
- A clearly defined research-to-market use case
- A proposed AWS architecture for your project
- An initial PoC / MVP running on AWS
- Estimated AWS consumption via the AWS Pricing Calculator
- A view of commercialization and scalability paths
- An introduction to the AWS research ecosystem
- Guidance on preparing an AWS Cloud Credit for Research application, where eligible
Major differentiator
AWS Cloud Credit for Research
AWS's global credit program supports researchers building cloud-hosted tools, running proofs of concept and benchmarks, and conducting advanced workshops. The application asks for a detailed project description, intended AWS services, timelines, milestones and plans for sharing outcomes — exactly the questions this bootcamp helps you answer.
- Up to $5,000 in credits for eligible graduate, postgraduate and PhD students
- Uncapped awards for faculty and research staff
- Supports proofs of concept, benchmarks, cloud-hosted tools and workshops
- Global program — open to researchers worldwide
"We bring AWS closer to the research community by transforming existing AWS research programs, cloud capabilities and credits into a visible, hands-on journey from scientific idea to market-ready innovation."
