Germany is a central hub for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Europe and home to two AWS Regions, multiple development centers, and cutting-edge AI research.
The AWS Europe (Frankfurt) Region, launched in October 2014, provides three Availability Zones and serves as one of the most established AWS Regions in Europe. In January 2026, AWS opened its European Sovereign Cloud in Brandenburg, specifically designed to help public sector organisations and highly regulated industries meet strict data residency and operational autonomy requirements.
Beyond cloud infrastructure, AWS Development Centers in Aachen, Berlin, Dresden, and Tübingen drive key technology innovations, including AI and machine learning research. Teams here contribute to services like Amazon Q, Amazon SageMaker, and the AWS Nitro System.
Together, these investments position Germany as a strategic base for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital sovereignty — serving organisations across Europe and around the world.
