Owkin, a TechBio that combines human and artificial intelligence to find the right treatment for every patient, announced they are working with Amazon Web Services to transform drug discovery, de-risk and accelerate clinical trials, and develop AI diagnostics. Owkin will leverage AWS’s proven global infrastructure and secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform to enhance data operations, optimize for operational excellence, and drive forward research in precision medicine.
"Owkin was founded with the belief that the future of precision medicine is in technologies that can unlock insights from the vast amount of patient data in hospitals and research centers in a privacy-preserving and secure way. Beyond our cutting-edge technologies, our strongest asset is in the power of collective intelligence through collaboration,” said Thomas Clozel, cofounder and CEO of Owkin.
By integrating research and development in biotech with AWS's secure and scalable cloud infrastructure and services, Owkin can meet its petabyte-level storage needs, develop generative AI applications, and build and adapt foundation models. Owkin will use Amazon SageMaker to build, train, and deploy machine learning models, optimize the processing of high-quality data at scale, and advance the deployment of its portfolio of AI solutions through research partners, pathology labs, and biopharma, ultimately better servicing patient health outcomes.
Owkin and experts from AWS’s Healthcare and Life Sciences team, who bring hands-on experience from pharma, medical device, biotech, and government health and regulatory organizations, will work to harness technology to address critical challenges in precision medicine and find the right treatment for every patient. Utilizing their respective expertise, Owkin and AWS aim to facilitate ground-breaking discoveries and drive the development of transformative solutions for global healthcare challenges.
AgentOS is Infobip’s response to a phase in which agents are becoming an important tool for process automation and customer communication. Krešo Žmak says the market is still at an early stage, but clients are moving away from AI for the sake of innovation and towards measurable results. The next challenge will be controlling costs, user experience, and the nondeterministic nature of agentic systems.
Telecom operators approach AI from two directions: as providers of infrastructure for the digital transformation of other industries and as organisations embedding AI into their own processes. A1 Hrvatska has moved from prototypes to concrete products, from customer support to sovereign European cloud services. Daniel Šimić says workforce profiles are also changing, with fast learning, customer understanding and adaptability becoming more important.
Burra was created as a platform for consolidating IT services companies in Southeast Europe, with a commercial focus on Western Europe and the United States. Its first members, Devōt, Tacta and CoreLine, continue to run their existing businesses while integration is planned gradually, primarily through new projects. Sven Marušić says the aim is not to turn founders into corporate employees, but to build a larger organisation in which they remain shareholders and drivers of growth.
