By offering interactive demonstrations, workshops, and personalized consultations, Infosys Living Labs will help organizations envision and implement their digital transformation strategies.
The education and research collaboration with University of Cambridge to establish a joint AI Lab will draw from Infosys’ industry expertise and practical application of AI as well as Cambridge University’s world-class education and research capabilities to help address real-world challenges. This new lab will also be a catalyst for cutting-edge research and innovation initiatives.
The London Living Labs and the AI Lab are housed within Infosys’ new state-of-the-art premises spread over 25,000 sq. ft. with a capacity for 200 employees. Designed using biophilic principles, the new workplace seamlessly blends adaptive and modular design and sustainable practices to create a truly modern environment offering a range of creative and collaborative spaces.

I saw first-hand how Infosys’ new London base will support organisations and researchers to get the most out of this technology, fuelling the new innovations which will deliver change for people up and down the country.
Our recent International Investment Summit secured £63 billion of investment from across the globe and this is further proof that we’re continuing to go from strength to strength as a place to do business. By making the UK a magnet for investment, we’re delivering on our promise to ensure British businesses are equipped with the backing they need for the long-term so they can fully embrace the tech revolution.”

Our culture of open multi-disciplinary enquiry, with deep coupling between research, education, and real-world impact, resonates well with Infosys, and we are delighted to strengthen our collaboration through this new AI Lab.
