The announcement was made by Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This fresh commitment adds nearly \u20ac18 billion to the \u20ac15.7 billion investment plan the company outlined in 2024, underlining Amazon\u2019s aggressive strategy to strengthen its AI backbone in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Matters for the Global AI Race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Indian readers tracking global tech movements, this investment reflects a larger global pattern.
