Amazon announced the investment after Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez met David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairsand legal officer, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Zapolsky said the investment would support up to 30,000 jobs up to 2035.
"With this investment, we make Spain the AI epicentre of our operations in Europe," he said.
Last year, Amazon announced that its cloud computing unit AWS would invest €15.7 billion in data centres in Spain's northeastern Aragon region, which would support the creation of an estimated average of 17,500 jobs per year at local companies up to 2033.
