Investing.com-- Amazon said on Thursday it will invest over $5 billion in Taiwan to build more data centers for its web services unit in the region, which will also service the greater Asia Pacific region. 

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services said it had launched a new region– the APAC (Taipei) region– and will invest in data infrastructure in Taiwan to support this launch. 

The investment is the latest addition to AWS’ presence in Taiwan, which it has maintained since at least 2014. 

AWS is at the forefront of Amazon’s artificial intelligence ambitions, and is also a major player in providing processing power to run AI models. 

Apart from its core e-commerce unit, AWS is a major revenue driver for Amazon, and has benefited from increased AI demand over the past two years.
