New Delhi, Jan. 24 -- India's second-largest IT services firm, Infosys, on Friday expanded its European footprint with the inauguration of a new office in Zurich, relocating its Swiss headquarters to The Circle at Zurich Airport. The move marks a key milestone in Infosys' 25-year presence in Switzerland and reflects the growing strategic importance of Europe to the IT services major.
The launch was attended by Swiss policymakers, industry leaders and senior Infosys executives, including Dr Nik Gugger, Member of the National Council of Switzerland, and Dinesh Rao, EVP and Chief Delivery Officer, Infosys.
The Zurich facility is positioned as an innovation and co-creation hub, bringing Infosys closer to clients across manufacturing, financial services, life sciences, energy, telecom and retail. The centre will anchor delivery of Infosys Topaz, the company's generative AI-led offering, and Infosys Cobalt, its cloud services suite, aimed at helping Swiss enterprises accelerate digitalisation while meeting strict security and regulatory standards.
Switzerland has been a long-standing growth market for Infosys. Over the years, the company has strengthened its local capabilities through acquisitions such as Lodestone Consulting, expanding its SAP consulting footprint, and by setting up a Turbomachinery and Propulsion Centre of Excellence in Baden. Infosys also works closely with leading Swiss enterprises, including telecom operator Sunrise, on large-scale digital transformation programmes.
The Zurich expansion comes amid strong deal momentum in Europe. Over the past year, Infosys has secured several large, multi-year contracts across telecom, manufacturing and financial services in the region, including a marquee digital and AI engagement with European telecom group Liberty Global. The company has also sharpened its engineering and R&D capabilities through targeted European acquisitions, reinforcing its continental strategy.
Europe's rising importance was reflected in Infosys' Q3 FY26 performance. The region contributed close to one-third of the company's global revenue (around 32-33%), up year-on-year, making it the second-largest geography after North America. Switzerland continues to be a key market within continental Europe, supported by strong client demand in cloud modernisation, AI-led automation and SAP transformation.
Beyond business, Infosys continues to invest in the local ecosystem through academic partnerships with ETH Zurich, EPFL and IMD, as well as CSR initiatives focused on STEM education and inclusive digital skills development.
