Infosys, a leading multinational digital services and consulting firm, will establish its first Australian digital innovation co-creation space in Melbourne. 

Minister for Economic Development Tim Pallas welcomed the opening of the Infosys Melbourne Living Lab, an immersive environment that enables partners to devise and deliver innovative solutions using emerging technologies. 

“This continuing investment by Infosys shows that Victoria is fertile ground for major global companies, and we’ll continue to create the conditions that allow businesses to thrive and grow jobs,” Minister Pallas said. 

Located in the Docklands business precinct, the Living Lab brings together Infosys’ clients, partners, startups, academia and government and draws upon Victoria’s thriving tech and higher education sectors. 

Benefitting from the state’s culture of collaboration, projects delivered by the Living Lab will harness digital technologies such as cloud, 5G, IoT, 3D, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security, data and analytics, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to help various sectors. 

“This is a further boost for skills in our world-class tech sector, and a great opportunity for innovative Victorian companies to make connections and forge new ground,” Minister for Innovation, Medical Research and the Digital Economy Jaala Pulford said. 

Infosys first set up its Australian office in Melbourne in 1999 and has partnered with the Victorian Government’s Digital Jobs program, enabling career transitions for people looking to build a future in the digital sector. 

Since 2018, Infosys has been the Australian Open digital innovation partner of Tennis Australia, harnessing big data and analytics, AI, Virtual Reality and cloud technologies to elevate the Open experience for fans, players, coaches, partners and the media. 

”Victoria’s dynamic innovation sector and robust education ecosystem will support Infosys’ strategy to advance digital innovation, digital skills and digital inclusion,” Infosys Australia and NZ Executive Vice President and Region Head Andrew Groth said. 

The Victorian Government’s International Investment Strategy is about attracting global organisations from growth industries to secure the skills, capabilities and technology that will drive long-term growth in the Victorian economy.
