On Friday, Amazon announced the opening of its first office in Athens, Greece, greekcitytimes.com reports.
The office will support organizations of all sizes, including startups, enterprises, and public sector agencies, as they make the transition to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
The move comes as the government has stepped up efforts to attract foreign investment and draw high tech firms to Greece.
“We have seen increased customer adoption of AWS in the country and decided to open an office in Athens to better support new customers,” Przemek Szuder, the chief of AWS operations in central and eastern Europe said in a statement.
No financial details were disclosed.
“We look forward to fostering the country’s pioneering spirit alongside our customers and helping them accelerate their digital transformation and deliver innovative new products and services to Greek customers and citizens,” he noted.
AWS already provides cloud computing services to well-known startups and businesses in Greece including Beat, Deepsea Technologies, futurehome.gr, Madinad, Marpoint, Money Market, Orfium, Omilia, Wind Hellas, PAOK FC, and Xrysi Eukairia, as well as Public Sector organisations.
Services cover areas from big data analytics and mobile, web and social media applications to enterprise business applications and the internet of things.
