The facility will serve as a collaborative space for more than 100 teams, including local and regional employees supporting AWS and other corporate functions.

This expansion follows AWS’ recent announcement of an additional S$12b ($8.9b) investment in its Singapore cloud infrastructure (2024-2028), projected to contribute S$23.7 billion ($17b) to Singapore’s GDP by 2028 and support an estimated 12,300 full-time equivalent jobs annually.

Jeff Johnson, managing director, ASEAN, AWS said, the company’s “new regional office in Singapore represents our deepening commitment to Singapore, and serves as a strategic hub for digital transformation across ASEAN. Designed as a collaborative space, it connects AWS leaders with industry partners, enterprises, and innovators to advance technology development in Southeast Asia.

The launch of the new AWS office marks Amazon’s 15th year in Singapore, reinforcing the island state’s position as a leading technology hub while accelerating digital initiatives throughout the region.”
