Google Cloud and the government of El Salvador have entered into a 7-year partnership to digitize the country’s infrastructure in various sectors. Google Cloud announced a new partnership with the government of El Salvador on Aug. 29 to establish an office and provide Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) services in the country. The partnership aims to digitize the country, update government services and improve the healthcare and education systems. The GDC will also help bring infrastructure closer to where data is generated for El Salvador. Nayib Bukele, the country’s president, said he believes El Salvador is quickly becoming a "hub for innovation.” “El Salvador is moving forward. We believe technology and foreign investment are key for development.” He also took to social media and posted about the partnership with a smirking smiley face emoji.
