Amazon to invest $1.3 bn in France, create 3,000 jobs

Amazon has invested over 20 billion euros in its French operations since 2010, employing more than 22,000 permanent employees across its cloud and online retail businesses. On Monday, Amazon announced an additional investment of more than 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion) in its French operations, aiming to create over 3,000 permanent jobs in the country.

This new investment from Amazon Web Services (AWS) will enhance cloud infrastructure in the Paris area, supporting France's growing generative AI sector. Additionally, the investment will bolster logistics infrastructure in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. These developments aim to drive innovation and efficiency within Amazon's French operations.

Amazon's continued commitment to France underscores its dedication to expanding its presence and capabilities in the region. By increasing its investments, Amazon not only supports technological advancements but also contributes significantly to job creation and economic growth in France. The focus on cloud infrastructure and generative AI aligns with France's strategic goals in the digital economy, positioning the country as a leader in these cutting-edge technologies.

This strategic move by Amazon highlights its role in fostering a robust digital ecosystem in France, ensuring the company remains a key player in the global tech landscape.
