The document discusses Cloud Innovation Centers (CICs), which are partnerships between public sector organizations and Amazon Web Services (AWS) that aim to accelerate innovation in the public sector through cloud technologies. CICs provide infrastructure and credits from AWS alongside facilities and resources from partner organizations to run innovation challenges addressing real-world problems. Challenges involve students and aim to develop prototypes, with the goal of improving digital experiences for citizens. Examples of challenges from existing CICs are described.
