New York: In a monumental stride, Microsoft, the formidable U.S. software giant, unveils plans to fortify Spain’s artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure with a staggering $2.1 billion investment over the next two years. Brad Smith, the company’s Vice Chair and President, revealed this ambitious initiative via a post on the social media platform X.
This momentous announcement closely follows Microsoft’s recent pledge of a substantial 3.2 billion euros ($3.45 billion) investment dedicated to AI ventures in Germany, also slated for a two-year period.
Despite inquiries for further insight, Microsoft has yet to respond to Reuters regarding specific details concerning the Spanish investment.
Brad Smith underscored the comprehensive scope of the investment, affirming, “Our commitment extends beyond mere data center construction; it’s a testament to our 37-year dedication to Spain, encompassing its security, development, and the digital transformation of its government, businesses, and citizens.”
