Infosys, an Indian firm engaged in consulting and technology services, has announced its latest strategic move in the Nordic region with the establishment of a cutting-edge Proximity Centre in Oslo, Norway.

The new centre is a key component of Infosys’ ongoing expansion plan in the Nordics and aims to attract, re-skill, and up-skill local talent to drive innovation and seize global opportunities in next-generation technologies.

With a focus on advanced technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and software engineering, the state-of-the-art facility will empower Infosys to cultivate a diverse pool of skilled professionals. This initiative aligns perfectly with the company’s vision to leverage top-notch talent and propel digital transformations across industries.

In recent years, Infosys has consistently invested in and expanded its presence in the Nordic region, forging fresh partnerships and strategic acquisitions. Notable collaborations include the Lefdal Mine Datacenter in Norway and the acquisition of Fluido in Finland and BASE Life Science in Denmark. Additionally, Infosys recently inaugurated a proximity centre in Gothenburg, Sweden.

By establishing the new proximity centre in Oslo, Infosys will bolster its partnerships and deepen collaboration with regional clients. Notably, the centre will enhance its existing relationships with Telenor, one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, and DNB ASA, Norway’s largest bank. Through this closer alliance, Infosys aims to co-create and strengthen next-generation solutions, facilitating the advancement of its clients’ digital transformation journeys.

This strategic move highlights Infosys’ commitment to expanding its footprint in the Nordic region, which is renowned for its innovation and digital prowess. By fostering local talent and leveraging their expertise, Infosys aims to become a trusted partner for Nordic businesses on their path to digital success.

The establishment of the Proximity Centre in Oslo marks yet another milestone in the company’s journey of growth and transformation, as it continues to position itself at the forefront of the global technology landscape.

Anand Swaminathan — Infosys Executive Vice President and Global Industry Leader of Communications, Media and Technology said: “This expansion demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional services to Norwegian clients while addressing their unique challenges and building next-generation solutions.

“With the new office in place, we aim to attract local talent and bring next-generation technology to Norwegian companies embarking on their digital transformation journey. With an unparalleled combination of local talent and world-class technologies, we are confident that we will serve as a hub for innovation and will empower clients across the Nordics to become future-ready.”
