Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the investment in data centers in Sydney and Melbourne is the largest in Australia's history from a global technology company.
This commitment will support the growing demand in Australia for cloud computing and artificial intelligence, which will accelerate adoption and expansion of opportunities
It is noted that on Saturday, June 14, Albanese met with Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Harman during a stop in Seattle on the way to the G7 summit in Canada.
According to Australian Minister for Industry and Innovation Tim Ayres, these investors are "very important" to the country's digital infrastructure.
It is in Australia's interest to seize this opportunity. We must be both creators of technology and those who use it
