Amazon has opened a new 60,000 sq.ft. development centre site in Cambridge which will eventually house a team of 400 engineers who will focus on voice controlled, AI and machine learning projects. Amazon is retaining its other site in the city and has said that the new facility will greatly enhance its capabilities.
“Cambridge has been a centre of academic and intellectual excellence for over 500 years, so we are delighted to open our second site in the city,” said Doug Gurr, UK country manager, Amazon. “The exciting and innovative new products and services developed here will benefit millions of customers around the world, complementing the work that goes on in our development centres in London and Edinburgh.”
The new facility is part of Amazon’s significant investment in the UK, amounting to c£6.4 billion since 2010. In all, its UK development centres will employ over 1500 engineers.
