Neo4j Earns New AWS Competencies and Expands Innovation Ahead of AWS re:Invent

This year, Neo4j deepened its longstanding partnership with AWS with several major milestones that help customers accelerate AI, analytics, and mission-critical applications on AWS. We’re excited to announce that Neo4j has achieved three new AWS distinctions in 2025:

• AWS Government Competency
• AWS Life Sciences Competency
• AWS Agentic AI Specialization, part of the new AWS AI Competency

These achievements bring Neo4j to seven total AWS competencies, a level reached by only a select group of AWS partners. This breadth of validation reflects Neo4j’s proven expertise, cross-industry impact, and deep technical alignment with AWS services.

A Top-Tier AWS Partner With Seven Competencies

With the addition of Government, Life Sciences, and Agentic AI, Neo4j now holds seven AWS competencies, demonstrating:

• Broad industry coverage
• Technical excellence across advanced workloads
• Consistent delivery of customer outcomes using AWS-native best practices
• Strong alignment with AWS’s strategic AI and data initiatives

This places Neo4j among an elite cohort of AWS partners recognized for depth, maturity, and sustained customer impact.

Proud to Be an Inaugural Partner for the AWS Agentic AI Specialization

Neo4j is honored to be among the first partners to achieve the AWS Agentic AI Specialization, part of the new AWS AI Competency. This specialization recognizes partners delivering cutting-edge agentic AI systems — including planning, reasoning, retrieval, tool use, and multi-step workflows — on AWS.

This selection reflects Neo4j’s leadership in GraphRAG, knowledge graphs, and graph-enhanced AI systems that ground agents in factual, contextual, explainable data. As AWS shared with inaugural partners, earning this specialization signals both technical excellence and meaningful commercial impact.

A strong example of this is our work with a leading global technology media company, which used Neo4j and AWS to build a graph-based knowledge layer that powers highly accurate, AI-driven content generation and retrieval. By blending Neo4j’s connected data with AWS-native AI services, the company improved accuracy, reduced hallucinations, and accelerated editorial workflows — demonstrating exactly the type of agentic, context-aware systems this specialization is designed to highlight.

A Trusted AWS Partner for Government Agencies

Earning the AWS Government Competency underscores Neo4j’s track record of supporting federal, state, and local agencies with secure, scalable graph data and analytics solutions. Agencies rely on Neo4j for investigations, fraud detection, mission readiness, knowledge graphs, and accelerating AI adoption while meeting strict security, compliance, and operational requirements.

Neo4j’s impact across public sector missions is already well established. For example, the U.S. Army leverages Neo4j to model and understand complex relationships across personnel, equipment, and mission assets — strengthening readiness, operational planning, and decision support across distributed environments.

Neo4j is also helping drive scientific and healthcare breakthroughs inside government research organizations. At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers applied Neo4j to map protein-protein interactions at scale, enabling deeper insight into biological pathways and accelerating biomedical discovery.

Accelerating Breakthroughs in Life Sciences With AWS

Neo4j’s new AWS Life Sciences Competency validates our success in helping pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare organizations accelerate research, enhance analytics, and operationalize AI. Customers use Neo4j on AWS to drive drug discovery, unify clinical and operational data, strengthen patient insights, and build graph-based AI workflows.

A strong example is Gilead Sciences, which uses Neo4j to integrate complex R&D data across scientific, biological, and operational domains. By connecting siloed datasets into a unified graph, Gilead accelerates the discovery process, improves collaboration across research teams, and enables more effective insight generation across the drug development lifecycle.

Another global life sciences leader — a Fortune 500 company — uses Neo4j on AWS to align disconnected clinical, commercial, and operational data into a single connected knowledge layer. This graph-powered foundation supports advanced analytics, improves decision-making across the enterprise, and lays the groundwork for AI-driven insights in highly regulated environments.

New Neo4j Innovations Coming to AWS This re:Invent Season

In addition to our new competencies, Neo4j is bringing several AWS-aligned innovations to market, making it even easier for customers to adopt graph technology for AI, analytics, and mission-critical applications:

• New Neo4j AuraDB: Graph Intelligence PayGo Listing on AWS Marketplace
  A brand-new pay-as-you-go (PayGo) listing for AuraDB is now available on AWS Marketplace, making it easier for teams to start using Neo4j AuraDB, our fully managed graph database and analytics service. Customers can provision Aura in minutes, use their existing AWS billing and commitment structure, and access a free trial to evaluate graph capabilities before scaling to production.
• New Kubernetes Operator for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
  Built with AWS Innovation funding, the new Neo4j Kubernetes Operator for EKS simplifies deployment, management, and scaling of Neo4j in cloud-native environments, supporting enterprise-grade reliability and automation. 
• New AWS Glue Integration for Neo4j
  Our new AWS Glue integration enables teams to easily move data from AWS sources into Neo4j, accelerating ETL workflows, graph model creation, AI readiness, and downstream analytics. 
• Launch Partner for AWS Partner Revenue Management
  Neo4j is a launch partner for AWS Partner Revenue Management, improving how partners collaborate with AWS on revenue attribution and joint pipeline management, streamlining the operational foundation for future joint success.

Across AWS Workloads

Across industries, from financial services to public sector to life sciences, organizations are adopting Neo4j and AWS to build accurate, explainable AI systems enriched with connected data. Whether powering fraud detection, enhancing investigations, enabling GraphRAG, or improving operational analytics, Neo4j and AWS together provide the foundation for high-performance, AI-ready workloads.

Looking Ahead to re:Invent and Beyond

As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, graph technology is becoming essential for accuracy, reasoning, and trust. Neo4j is proud to expand our AWS partnership with seven competencies and be part of the inaugural AWS Agentic AI Specialization launch.

We look forward to connecting with customers, partners, and builders at AWS re:Invent. Stop by booth 1212 to learn more, or visit our AWS re:Invent page to see where else we’ll be or request a meeting.
