Amazon has revealed investments in some of its key European markets. Amazon is investing 150 million euros in a 60,000 sq. m fulfilment centre which will open in autumn 2017 in Rome. This builds on over 450 million euros worth of investment in Italy since Amazon's opening in 2010. 
Elsewhere in Italy, a new development centre will open in Turin before the end of 2016, focusing on building up capabilities in machine learning for Alexa, Amazon's cloud-based voice service.
According to media reports, Amazon is to launch the Prime Instant Video platform in Spain (alongside Italy and France) before the end of 2016. It is also set to open a new headquarters, in Madrid, in summer 2017. The 12,000 sq. m building (larger than the existing premises) will be situated in the Méndez Álvaro business district. A further fulfilment centre should open in autumn 2017 in Barcelona. (www.igd.com)
