On November 4, Infosys’ EMEA Confluence 2025 event commenced at the Fairmont Monte Carlo. Infosys continues to strengthen its presence across France, Germany, the UK, and Benelux, with 68% of its workforce in Europe comprising local talent. In the last five years, its share of European business has grown from 24.5% in 2021 to 31.5% in 2025. The company remains focused on core industries: retail, financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, high tech, energy, and utilities.

The event mainly revolved around three strategic themes:

  • Infosys Topaz Fabric. Infosys launched Topaz Fabric, an AI-based platform with a modular, layered architecture that brings together data infrastructure, models, agents, and applications into an integrated stack. The platform is intended to streamline and improve IT service delivery across enterprise systems. Demonstrations highlighted two main uses: 1) applying Topaz Fabric to modernize IT operations and 2) combining it with Infosys’ “exponential engineering” framework, an orchestration layer that includes human oversight, to support the faster development and deployment of new applications.
  • AI ROI. This emerged as a recurring theme in conversations with clients and Infosys leadership. Organizations are increasingly asking IT and service providers to demonstrate measurable returns on AI investments. Amid the ongoing hype, the focus is shifting toward establishing strong data foundations as a prerequisite for effective AI adoption. Infosys outlined an approach that combines its Value Office with its AI strategy, centered on three priorities: preparing enterprise data for AI, driving AI-enabled business transformation, and building an AI economy. The latter emphasizes democratizing AI access to enable enterprises to develop AI-driven products and experiences at scale.
  • Cloud and digital sovereignty. Infosys’ cloud business has significantly grown. Growth in Europe is driven primarily by major transformation deals with enterprise clients. The company collaborates with leading tech firms to deliver private and public cloud solutions. Infosys is also partnering with tech providers to launch AI-enabled private cloud stacks. It announced a partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, with the two firms coming together to address the digital sovereignty needs of European enterprises (for example, they are looking to expand into the defense sector in EMEA). According to Umashankar Lakshmipathy, executive vice president and co-head of cloud, infrastructure, and security services, sovereign cloud demand is a key growth area, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
