Amazon announced a significant new investment of 18 billion euros ($21 billion) in Spain, dedicated to expanding its data centers and advancing artificial intelligence innovation. This brings Amazon's total commitment in the country to 33.7 billion euros.
The major investment was revealed following a meeting between Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairs and legal officer. Zapolsky stated the investment is projected to support up to 30,000 jobs by 2035, positioning Spain as the AI epicenter for Amazon's European operations.
This follows a previous announcement where Amazon Web Services (AWS) committed 15.7 billion euros for data centers in Spain's Aragon region, expected to create an average of 17,500 jobs annually at local companies through 2033.
