On Friday, Amazon announced the opening of its first office in Athens, Greece.
The office will support organisations 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 companies 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 head of AWS operations in central and eastern Europe said in a statement.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that they will soon open their first office in Athens as part of the conglomerate’s ongoing investment in Greece.
The firm had previously opened a CloudFront location in the capital city and the addition of the AWS office is seen as another important development which grew out of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2020 with the country’s Ministry of Digital Governance.
Amazon says that the addition of these on-the-ground services will help Greece compete by building a modern economy powered by cloud computing.
Only part of its ongoing investment plan, the company says that it is continuing to expand its presence in Greece to support the growing number of customers and partners in the country.
