Infosys partners with Formula E to enable next-gen fan experiences powered by AI and digital innovations

Technology company Infosys recently announced a strategic three-year partnership with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the global motorsport championship for electric cars, as its official Digital Innovation Partner.

Through this collaboration, Infosys will provide in-race analytics, unlock fan engagement experiences, and enhance sustainability reporting and tracking for the Formula E championship.
