Opportunities from Amazon

At the forefront of sustainable device technology advancement, we seek proposals that help optimize device life cycle energy consumption and product carbon footprint through innovative technical solutions. Of particular interest are projects that illustrate measurable impact reduction in device manufacturing phase through supply chain decarbonization innovations or use phase through energy efficient compute or AI-assisted optimization techniques. The proposed solutions should demonstrate clear potential for industry-wide adoption and include comprehensive validation methodologies for measuring and verifying associated carbon impact reductions.

Amazon participates in a complex network – of individuals, processes, technologies, and organizations collaboratively safeguarding networks, devices, and data from cybersecurity threats. We seek to invest in research initiatives that effectively bridge the gap between internal fraud prevention measures and broader external security enhancements. We invite proposals in two key areas.
