October 8, 2026 - Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a commitment of up to $50 million in credits over three years to support the White House's expansion of the Genesis Mission, unveiled at the White House Science Summit. As the Trump Administration expands the Genesis Mission to an additional 14 federal agencies, AWS is excited to meet the moment with the AWS Golden Age of Science Accelerator, which will provide credits for scientific research and AI-for-science workloads across U.S. federal science agencies and their research partners — helping to remove financial barriers and compress innovation timelines to accelerate breakthroughs critical to American scientific leadership.

"American scientists are on the cusp of breakthroughs that will define the next century — from accelerating biomedical research and improving health outcomes, to AI-driven drug discovery — but they need computing power at scale" said David Appel, Interim Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector at AWS. "The AWS Golden Age of Science Accelerator is about making sure that researchers can move from idea to running at scale on AWS in days, not years from now. We're proud to support the White House's vision and the researchers working to keep America at the forefront of scientific discovery."

AWS Golden Age of Science Accelerator

The AWS Golden Age of Science Accelerator provides eligible participants up to $50 million in AWS cloud computing credits for scientific research and AI-for-science workloads across U.S. federal science agencies, their research partners, and other participating federal agencies.

Participants interested in receiving credits can visit the Government Accelerator Initiative Portal and complete the interest form. AWS will schedule a consultation and work with eligible participants to develop project proposals aligned with the government’s scientific research priorities. If the project is selected, post-award credits will be applied to existing contracts, and participants can begin building.

Commitment to Government Customers

AWS is unwaveringly committed to public sector customers in the federal, defense, and intelligence communities, and today supports more than 15,000 government customers across the globe. AWS brings nearly a decade of experience supporting some of the U.S. government's most sensitive workloads and breaking barriers for our customers. AWS was the first cloud provider to build infrastructure specifically for government security standards (2011), support classified workloads (2014), and achieve accreditation across all U.S. government data classifications (2017).

Here is a look at the most recent investments AWS has made for its government customers:

  • In August 2025, the U.S. General Services Administration announced a OneGov Agreement with AWS to provide up to $1 billion in savings for cloud adoption, modernization, and training for federal agencies through 2028.
  • In November 2025, Amazon announced it will invest up to $50 billion to expand AI and supercomputing infrastructure for U.S. government agencies –- the largest federal technology commitment in the company’s history.
  • In February 2026, AWS launched two federal credit programs — the AWS Warfighter Capability Accelerator and the AWS Genesis Accelerator — providing up to $100 million in credits across the two programs over three years to accelerate innovation for national security and scientific missions across the Department of War, Department of Energy, national laboratories, and the defense industrial base.
  • In June 2026, AWS announced the Intelligence Community Accelerated Modernization Framework (ICAMF), committing up to $1 billion in cloud credits through October 2030 to accelerate cloud migration and modernization across the U.S. Intelligence Community — helping remove the financial barriers that have kept critical workloads locked in on-premises systems.
