Singapore – Amazon has recently expanded its presence in Singapore following the introduction of a new corporate office in the country. This expansion is aimed at improving teamwork, learning, and flexibility as AWS grows its business and operations.
According to the firm, the recently inaugurated office will accommodate over 100 teams, including both local and regional employees supporting AWS and broader corporate functions.
It is also open to AWS customers and partners, offering co-working areas, dedicated innovation rooms, technical workshops, and community spaces for informal networking. This approach is designed to encourage seamless collaboration and joint innovation.
Additionally, said launch highlights AWS’ plan to invest an additional S$12b into its existing cloud infrastructure in Singapore from 2024 to 2028. This investment is anticipated to contribute S$23.7b to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2028 and support approximately 12,300 full-time jobs annually in local businesses.
Jeff Johnson, managing director of ASEAN at Amazon Web Services, said, “AWS’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,” he added.
In a statement, the company also shared that it has secured more than 360,000 square feet of workspace as the anchor tenant in IOI Central Boulevard’s East Tower, accommodating up to 3,000 employees. Said move marks the company’s second corporate office in Singapore’s Central Business District, after launching its Asia Square office in 2021.
With a local workforce of over 2,500 spanning cloud, corporate, retail, technology, and operations, Amazon continues to grow, offering more than 100 job openings in its cloud and corporate divisions.
