16 Milliarden Euro will Amazon 2027 in Deutschland investieren – ein großer Teil soll in Cloud und KI rund um Frankfurt fließen. Was verändert sich außerdem an den Standorten?
In the coming year, e-commerce giant Amazon plans to invest around 16 billion euros in Germany, according to the company. The funds will primarily go towards expanding AWS data centers for cloud services and modernizing logistics sites, the company announced. Approximately 3,000 new positions are expected to be created solely in logistics.
Furthermore, dozens of in-house productions for the streaming service Amazon Prime are reportedly planned. Around 4.8 billion euros, a significant portion of the investment, will be allocated to bolstering the company's cloud and AI infrastructure, Amazon stated. This money will go towards the AWS Europe region around Frankfurt am Main.
Further details on the investments have not been disclosed by Amazon at this time. In addition to its online marketplace and logistics, AWS is another key business area for the US corporation. The company said around 3,000 employees in Germany work for AWS. In logistics centers, modern technologies like robotics are set to be invested in, the company added.
Current modernization projects at logistics sites in Bad Hersfeld, Hesse, Dortmund, and Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia, are expected to be completed next year. A new center is also under construction in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia.
