Berytech announced its partnership with Amazon Web Service (AWS) on November 19, 2015 at the Berytech Digital Park, giving startups the opportunity to host their website for 2 years on AWS for free.

It  gives startups the access to a bundle of resources including technical training, hands on labs, support period and promotional credit.
