Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a major investment of 2.26 trillion yen (£12 billion) over the next five years in expanding its cloud infrastructure in Japan. The plan includes building multiple data centers in the region to manage the increasing data load on Amazon’s network. This investment is expected to enable Japanese businesses to leverage advanced digital technologies like AI and machine learning. The expansion is projected to contribute around £30 billion to Japan’s GDP and has been lauded by Japan’s digital minister for enhancing the country’s industrial competitiveness. This move is part of AWS’s broader focus on the Asia Pacific region, where other tech giants like Google and Microsoft are also making significant investments, reflecting the region’s potential and value. These investments are set to reshape the future of cloud computing in Asia.
