NHN Techorus Collaborates with AWS for Small Businesses
Overview
NHN Techorus Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has signed a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of AWS among mid-sized and small businesses in Japan, ultimately driving digital transformation within this crucial sector.
Background of the Partnership
The new agreement is a part of the Small Business Acceleration Initiative (SBAI), which AWS will launch globally in 2025. NHN Techorus has been recognized as one of the select partners—among just a few dozen globally—able to spearhead the initiative to promote AWS use among small businesses. This recognition stems from NHN Techorus's previous commitments and achievements in AWS utilization, including the strategic collaboration contract signed with AWS Japan in 2024, intended to support domestic companies in maximizing their AWS potential.
Five Key Actions to Support SMEs
