Paris, December 14, 2023 – Capgemini today announced that it has won seven AWS Partner of the Year awards across a record number of global and local categories, including the coveted Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) Global Partner of the Year award. The awards demonstrate Capgemini’s excellence in supporting joint clients to meet the demands of the dual transition to a digital and sustainable economy.

As organizations across sectors and geographies navigate the next wave of generative AI transformation, Capgemini and AWS are well-placed to help joint clients implement their generative AI investments at scale and deliver business value through breakthrough innovations and industry-specific solutions.
