Encephalitis International Participates in Amazon Web Services’ Breaking Barriers Challenge

Last week, Encephalitis International was thrilled to take part in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Breaking Barriers Challenge 2026 in Manchester, an inspiring three-day event that brought together non-profits, technologists, students, and industry experts to tackle real-world problems using cloud-based technology and AI.

For Encephalitis International, the opportunity to collaborate in such an innovative environment was both invigorating and deeply meaningful. We were so happy to see the passion from our technology partners in having the opportunity to deliver real change.

Held across multiple cities, with our team joining in Manchester, the Breaking Barriers Challenge focused on healthcare innovation, accessibility, and global impact. These themes closely align with Encephalitis International’s mission to rebuild futures around the world by saving lives, accelerating awareness, and driving research..

Working side by side with AWS specialists and talented participants, Encephalitis International explored how digital tools and data-driven solutions could help non-profits reach more people faster and more effectively.

Encephalitis International is grateful to AWS for creating a space where non-profits are not just supported but actively empowered to shape solutions. Participating in the Breaking Barriers Challenge in Manchester reaffirmed our belief that collaboration between the non-profit and technology sectors can drive meaningful, lasting change.
