Croatian government on Thursday agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding with Amazon Web Services (AWS), state agency Hina said, citing the government's press release.

“As the lead cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides servers, storage, networking, remote computing, email, mobile development, and security,” Hina said.

Bernard Grsic, the state secretary of the Central State Office for Digital Society Development, told the government that the AWS offered “more than 200 full services.”

“AWS has expressed its wish to cooperate with the Croatian government in the field of digital transformation and also to ink the memorandum of understanding, a document which it has already signed with other EU countries,” Hina quoted Grsic as saying.

The purpose of the memorandum is to “establish strategic cooperation in digital transformation of the public administration, digitization, digital literacy and innovations,” Hina said.

Recently, Amazon has formally announced the opening of an office with 15 specialists in cloud infrastructure maintenance and management in Croatia.

Last October, the state postal company Hrvatska Posta signed a partnership with Amazon on the delivery of parcels and logistics support in Croatia, the state news agency Hina said.
