“We are excited to announce the expansion of our presence in Arizona and to hire 1,000 workers for technology jobs in the state,” said Ravi Kumar, President, Infosys. “This investment will strengthen our ability to deliver for our clients across Arizona and the Southwest and expand the local workforce to help our clients compete in the rapidly digitizing global economy.”

“Infosys’ selection of Arizona as the location for a U.S. Technology & Innovation Hub further solidifies our state’s reputation as a tech industry leader,” said Sandra Watson, President & CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “This operation will create a significant number of high-value jobs and focus on advancing emerging technologies. We thank Infosys for their commitment to Arizona, Governor Ducey for his leadership and the Zanjeros, ASU and GPEC for their support.”

The Arizona Technology and Innovation Hub will help Infosys work even more closely with clients in the region to develop cross-functional solutions to pressing business challenges in such areas as machine learning, artificial intelligence, user experience and advanced digital technologies, including big data and cloud. This investment also enables Infosys to build on the strength of its existing Arizona network of highly skilled professionals. The Hub will facilitate greater collaboration and advancement in key Arizonan industries such as hi-tech, manufacturing and financial services.
