Amazon plans to invest AU$20 billion by 2029 to expand its data center infrastructure in Australia, enhancing cloud and AI capabilities. This investment supports the Australian government’s vision for AI innovation and economic growth. Three new solar farms in Victoria and Queensland will power the expansion, adding to Amazon’s existing renewable energy projects. AWS has trained over 400,000 individuals in Australia since 2017 and will continue supporting AI programs like AWS AI Spring Australia and the Generative AI Accelerator. The investment aims to empower Australian organizations with cutting-edge technology while ensuring local data residency and regulatory compliance.
