AWS for Industries
Reinventing Energy, Together | AWS Energy Symposium 2024
From the first spark of fire to the harnessing of nuclear power, energy innovation has been the bedrock of human progress. It has illuminated our cities, powered our industries, and propelled us into the space age. Every leap in energy technology has ushered in new eras of possibility, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.
Today, as we navigate the energy transition, innovation is more critical than ever. While significant progress has been made in building renewable energy capacity, increasing efficiency in energy exploration and production, and investing in technology to drive innovation and productivity, there is still considerable work to be done. Challenges remain as the industry continues to work towards ensuring energy security in a rapidly changing environment, defending critical infrastructure against cyber threats, modernizing aging systems and infrastructure, and accelerating decarbonization. We must come together and harness that same spirit of innovation that has been core to human progress and usher in a new energy era. An energy era that is defined by energy innovation accelerated through advanced technologies in order to achieve clean, efficient and accessible energy energy solutions for generations to come.
