Microsoft is set to significantly enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud services infrastructure in Spain, announcing a major investment of $2.1 billion over the coming two years. The announcement was made by Microsoft’s Vice Chair and President, Brad Smith, through a post on the social media platform X.
This strategic investment follows closely on the heels of a substantial $3.45 billion commitment to AI development in Germany, highlighting the tech giant’s aggressive expansion in European AI and cloud sectors.
While specific details of the Spain investment have yet to be disclosed, Microsoft’s initiative signals a deepening of its commitment to Spain, where the company has been active for 37 years.
Brad Smith emphasized that the investment is not just about enhancing data center infrastructure but is a broader commitment to supporting Spain’s national security, digital transformation, and the development of its government, businesses, and citizens.
The investment in Spain’s AI and cloud infrastructure is expected to bolster the country’s position as a leading digital economy in Europe, leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive innovation, efficiency, and growth across various sectors.
