Infosys, a global provider of AI-driven consulting and technology services, has entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Valmet, a leading technology company serving process industries. Under this agreement, Infosys will help modernize Valmet’s core IT environment and drive a comprehensive IT transformation program aimed at improving operational performance and ensuring stronger alignment between technology functions and business goals.

As part of the initiative, Infosys will apply its industry knowledge and technology expertise to enhance Valmet’s IT landscape in support of the company’s "Lead the Way" strategy. The collaboration is expected to streamline operations, optimize resource utilization, lower operating costs, and enable more proactive management of enterprise IT services. It will also help establish a robust and future-ready technology foundation that remains closely connected to business objectives.

To enable this transformation, Infosys will deploy Infosys Topaz Fabric, its open and composable agentic AI services platform, to introduce intelligent automation across IT operations. Using a human-in-the-loop governance model, the solution will emphasize transparency, accuracy, and oversight while improving productivity, accelerating issue resolution, and strengthening operational resilience.

Additionally, Infosys will utilize Infosys Cobalt, its cloud transformation suite, to build secure, scalable, and modern cloud infrastructure that supports Valmet’s IT modernization objectives. Combined, these technologies will help establish an AI-first operating framework designed to enhance efficiency, strengthen resilience, and support long-term business adaptability.

Commenting on the partnership, Arto Huuskonen stated that Valmet’s objective is to create a resilient and future-oriented digital foundation capable of supporting the company’s strategic ambitions. He noted that, as the organization advances its IT modernization efforts, improving efficiency and governance remains a key priority. He added that Infosys’ expertise in AI, cloud technologies, and managed services, along with its responsible approach to AI adoption, will help accelerate Valmet’s transformation journey and establish a scalable operating model aligned with evolving business requirements.

Jasmeet Singh highlighted that organizations seeking sustainable growth must adopt AI-driven, business-centric, and future-ready technology ecosystems. He noted that the collaboration demonstrates Infosys’ commitment to delivering transformational outcomes through its AI and cloud capabilities. According to Singh, the partnership aims to foster innovation, improve operational agility, and generate long-term value that supports Valmet’s strategic vision.
