Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing division of Amazon.com, has unveiled plans to invest $5 billion in Thailand over the next 15 years, according to Reuters.
The investment would include construction of data centers and purchase of goods and services from regional businesses in an effort to strengthen the infrastructure in the country. AWS also plans to establish an infrastructure hub in Bangkok to help customers securely store data.
“AWS' plan to build data centers in Thailand is a significant milestone that will bring advanced cloud computing services to more organizations and help us deliver our Thailand 4.0 ambition to create a digitized, value-based economy,” said Supattanapong Punmeechaow, deputy prime minister of Thailand.
