Amazon expanding in Israel

Amazon may be planning for a major expansion in Israel, with a big part of its resources going to Annapurna Labs, the secretive Israeli chip making startup it bought for $350 million in 2015, according to Haaretz’s Eliran Rubin.

The report says the expansion includes a new 32,000 square foot (3,000 square meter) R&D facility that would have about 800 employees within the next two years. Annapurna Labs, which employees about 200 people now, will be the “basis” for Amazon’s upgrade plan in Israel, it says.
