Amazon pledges £40 billion investment in UK
Amazon just announced it'll invest a huge £40 billion in the UK over the next three years.
The plan? Build four new distribution centers, upgrade Bray Film Studios, and boost data centers for AI—all meant to create jobs and power up local tech.
It's a big move under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, aiming to give the UK economy a real push.
This investment lines up with the UK's "Modern Industrial Strategy," which is all about teaming up with fast-growing industries.
PM Starmer called it an important step for jobs and careers across different fields.
Amazon says around 4,000 new jobs are on the way, adding to their track record of creating over 75,000 roles in the UK since 2010.
It's also another sign that global tech giants see serious potential in Britain right now.
