Microsoft is set to significantly enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure in Spain with a hefty $2.1 billion investment over the next two years. This announcement was made by Brad Smith, Microsoft’s Vice Chair and President, through a post on the social media site X. This strategic investment follows closely behind the company’s recent declaration of a 3.2 billion euros ($3.45 billion) investment in Germany aimed at expanding its AI capabilities.

While specific details of the Spain investment are awaited, Smith emphasized that the initiative is more than just an expansion of data centers. It represents a deep-rooted commitment to Spain, underscoring Microsoft’s dedication to the country’s security, and the digital transformation of its government, businesses, and citizens. This move marks a significant step in Microsoft’s 37-year history of operations and investments in Spain, reflecting the company’s ongoing efforts to drive technological advancement and innovation within the region.
