Aragón has become one of the reference places for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Europe. This location hosts the AWS Europe (Spain) Region — launched in November 2022 — with three Availability Zones in Zaragoza and Huesca provinces, and it plays a large role in bringing cloud computing and AI to people in Spain, Europe, and around the globe.
In March 2026, AWS announced plans to invest €33.7 billion ($39.8 billion) in Spain to expand and support this data centre infrastructure. The total planned investment in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Europe (Spain) Region, located in Aragón, is estimated to contribute €31.7 billion to Spain's total GDP through 2035, supporting an estimated 29,900 full-time equivalent jobs annually in local businesses, including direct, indirect, and induced. Of these, 6,700 are full-time jobs from Amazon's direct investment across multiple categories, including highly skilled data centre operations staff and employees of Amazon’s suppliers such as construction workers building the facilities and data centre security personnel, among others.
This investment will continue to help the regional economy and local businesses to grow, with more than half of the investment impact concentrated directly in Aragón—€18.5 billion contributing to Aragonese regional GDP through 2035 and supporting an estimated 13,400 full-time equivalent jobs annually in local businesses, of which 4,200 are full-time equivalent direct jobs from Amazon’s investment in Aragón.
With this expansion, Amazon is the first technology company to announce plans to build data centres in the province of Teruel, in addition to new facilities in Huesca and Zaragoza, bringing advanced cloud infrastructure to all three provinces of Aragón and creating jobs and business opportunities across the region.
Amazon also announced plans to build supply chain facilities in Aragón that will directly support our data centre operations across Spain and Europe. When fully operational, the facilities are expected to create approximately 1,800 jobs in Aragón. The project will include a server manufacturing plant to complete assembly and testing, a manufacturing fulfilment warehouse, and a dedicated AI and machine learning (ML) server manufacturing and repair facility, a key component of our circular economy strategy.
As more of the world takes advantage of cloud computing and AI, AWS has made significant contributions to building its infrastructure in Aragón—and around the world—and will continue to invest in order to help people connect to friends and family, work remotely, shop online, experiment with new technologies, and stream movies, TV shows, music, and video games.
Supporting Aragón’s communities
While AWS continues to invest in Aragón, we remain committed to strengthening the communities where we operate by supporting programs that benefit residents, families, and businesses alike. Our investments include many programs to support education, upskill the workforce, and build world-class tech talent in Aragón.
Since 2023, the AWS InCommunities program has supported more than 100 community programmes and initiatives across Aragón. This includes two Community Funds promoting 48 hyperlocal projects, as well as technology and community partnerships with Real Zaragoza and SD Huesca football clubs that have engaged more than 2,000 children in youth community tournaments while promoting inclusive sports, among others. In 2023, Amazon also launched the Think Big Space in Aragón, a robotics training programme that has engaged more than 7,400 students across 45 schools in Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel.
Amazon also supports education and training programs in Aragón to help workers enter technology-related careers. For example, AWS re/Start, a free multiweek, cohort-based workforce development training program helps unemployed or underemployed individuals with little or no tech experience transition into cloud careers. In partnership with the Government of Aragón, AWS Academy has integrated cloud computing into vocational IT training programmes, reaching 2,800 students. This collaboration ensures that graduates of Aragón’s vocational training institutes are cloud-ready from day one — with the skills that employers in the region’s growing digital economy demand.
Commitment to sustainability and water stewardship
Through The Climate Pledge, Amazon has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. To power operations with carbon-free energy and support expanded local cloud infrastructure, we're investing in 100 solar and wind projects across Spain, including 17 projects in Aragón. The AWS Region in Spain has been matching electricity use with 100% renewable energy since opening in 2022.
AWS is committed to being water positive by 2030, returning more water to communities than it uses in its direct operations. In Aragón, AWS is supporting five water projects with an investment of €17.2 million: detecting and reducing water loss through leaks in aging pipework, increasing reused water flow to local farms, implementing an innovative flood management system for Zaragoza, providing farmers access to an AWS-based AI agriculture solution to maximise crop yields while reducing water footprint, and modernising a crucial water pipeline in Huesca.
