AWS is continuing to pour tens-of-billions of dollars into new data center infrastructure across America by announcing its plan today to invest $11 billion in Georgia to drive cloud and AI innovation in the U.S.

Amazon Web Services is investing a whopping $11 billion in new data center infrastructure in Georgia to boost its cloud computing and AI technologies.

The AWS announcement comes just one day after President-elect Donald Trump unveiled that Emirati real estate mogul Hussain Sajwani will invest $20 billion to build data centers in the U.S. South and Midwest aimed at serving the needs of hyperscale organizations, such as Amazon. Just last month, AWS announced plans to invest $10 billion in new data centers in Ohio.

AWS’ Roger Wehner said the $11 billion investment into Georgia will drive “significant economic growth for the state” thanks to local leaders who have cultivated an environment that enables “AWS to make bold, forward-looking investments.”

“AWS’s ongoing infrastructure investments across the United States demonstrate our relentless commitment to powering our customers’ digital innovation through cloud and AI technologies,” said Wehner, vice president of economic development, in a statement.

AWS’ Plan For Georgia

The $110 billion Seattle-based cloud and AI superstar is pouring billions of dollars each year into expanding its data center footprint, which power AWS services and solutions across the globe.

AWS said generative AI is driving increased demand for advanced cloud infrastructure and compute power, and “AWS’s investments will support the future of AI from data centers in Georgia.”

“This deployment of cutting-edge AI infrastructure will strengthen Georgia’s position as an innovation hub,” AWS said.

AWS said its $11 billion investment in IT infrastructure for its data centers will create at least 550 jobs including direct AWS employment in technical roles like data center engineers network specialists, engineering operations managers and security specialists.

Trump Touts New $20B Data Center Investment In US

Amazon’s new investment in Georgia comes just one day after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said United Arab Emirates billionaire Hussain Sajwani—founder of real estate development firm DAMAC Properties—will invest $20 billion “over a very short period of time” to build data centers in the U.S. The first phase of the project will take place in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana.

“I’m thrilled to announced that DAMAC will be investing at least $20 billion over a very short period of time into the United States and they may go double or even somewhat more than double that amount of money,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday.

DAMAC is an Emirates-based development company operating in more than 20 countries around the world.

“At the moment we’re planning $20 billion in data center catering for the AI and cloud business for the hyperscalers,” said Sajwani this week.

Hyperscaler companies include the likes of Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
