HCL Technologies, an information technology services and consulting company, opened its Innovation Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The facility will house an engineering and co-innovation lab, which will enable high tech and software clients to not only envision their products, but also to see rapid product prototyping, collaborative research and continuous learning to create faster time to market. Clients can leverage the Center to create new product designs while collaborating on go-to-market solutions.

"The Edmonton Innovation Center represents a significant expansion of our world-class technology talent and exceptional engineering presence in Canada," said Joelien Jose, Executive Vice President and Country Head, Canada, HCL Technologies. "Engineering-led digital transformation is set to re-imagine the business landscape, and the excellent facilities at our Edmonton Center provide the right environment for shaping the future of the IT industry."

In addition to the Edmonton Center, HCL Technologies’ continued success in Canada is driven by the support of Global Delivery Centers in Mississauga, Ontario, and Moncton, New Brunswick.

“I’d like to welcome HCL Technologies to Alberta, a province that is breaking records for venture capital investment,” added Doug Schweitzer, Minister for Jobs, Economy and Innovation, Government of Alberta. “It is great to see another successful international company choose to expand to our province and play a role in growing our tech sector.

"The Edmonton Metropolitan Region is a great place for HCL Technologies to continue its expansion into Canada," said Malcolm Bruce, CEO, Edmonton Global. "Our region's tech sector continues to attract investors through our high quality of life, world-class talent and affordability. We're excited to watch HCL expand and grow here."
