Infosys opens Melbourne Living Lab
Infosys has opened a new Living Lab in Melbourne, joining a network of over 20 co-creation spaces established globally to date.
The Melbourne Living Lab has been built within Infosys’s new five-floor workspace in Docklands.
The lab will offer 800 m2 of stadium-style co-creation space designed to allow Infosys partners to use solution accelerators, digital experiences and frameworks to ideate, prototype and test their innovations.
Within the lab, the Centre for Emerging Technologies features solution accelerators which leverage digital technologies including cloud, IoT, 3D, AI, cybersecurity, and augmented and virtual reality. They have been developed to address industry use cases in sectors including financial services, telecommunications, retail, utilities and manufacturing.
Infosys Australia and New Zealand’s EVP and Region Head, Andrew Groth, said the investment was in part motivated by the Victorian Government’s International Investment Strategy. He said Melbourne is the ideal location for a Living Lab node.
“Victoria’s dynamic innovation sector and robust education ecosystem will support Infosys’s strategy to advance digital innovation, digital skills and digital inclusion,” Groth said.
“Investing in this state-of-the-art space will help inspire and incubate innovative digital solutions to help support Australia’s vision to be a world-leading digital economy.”
Infosys is also a partner in the state government’s Digital Jobs program, which is designed to enable skilled professionals in other fields to transition into a career in the digital sector. Infosys also has a graduate program and an internship program in collaboration with Victorian universities including Deakin University, Monash University, The University of Melbourne and RMIT.
The company has had a presence in the Australian market since 1999.
