AWS and Siemens team up to help bizs build and scale generative AI applications

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has teamed up with Siemens to make it easier for businesses of all sizes and industries to build and scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Commenting on this partnership, Adam Selipsky, AWS CEO, said, "Together, AWS and Siemens are empowering companies worldwide to create new capabilities, solutions, and value with generative AI. This partnership builds on our 10-year relationship with Siemens, giving customers across all industries the flexible, customizable, secure environment they need to take advantage of new opportunities with generative AI."

The partnership will enable domain experts in engineering, manufacturing, logistics, insurance, banking or other fields to create new and upgrade existing applications using the most advanced generative AI technology.

Siemens is integrating Amazon Bedrock into its Mendix low-code development platform to make generative AI easily accessible to application developers.

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies along with a broad set of capabilities you need to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI.

Mendix, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, is an industry-leading low-code application development platform with 50 million end-users and more than 200,000 applications running on AWS across industrial, finance and other sectors.

With the new Mendix-Amazon Bedrock integration, developers will be able to create smart, industry-hardened applications without dedicated programming knowledge and users can interact with information easily via a graphical interface and the simplicity of drag-and-drop commands.

"By integrating Amazon Bedrock into our low-code platform, we are democratizing generative AI technology and empowering everyone to create the applications customers need to become more competitive, resilient, and sustainable," said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens. "Making smarter applications without programming expertise accelerates innovation and helps companies to tackle skilled labor shortages.
