Autodesk Completes Acquisition of Innovyze

Autodesk has officially closed its acquisition of Innovyze, a provider of smart water infrastructure technology. The company was acquired for USD 1 billion, marking it as the 6th and largest acquisition by purchase price since 2017.

Autodesk and Infrastructure

Autodesk says it acquired Innovyze as part of a larger infrastructure strategy that is aimed at sustainable outcomes. The acquired technologies and solutions enable the technical software design giant to provide end-to-end solutions for design, construction, and now operations of water infrastructure.

This acquisition is smartly aligned with changing political winds for US. investment in critical infrastructure. The Biden Administration current is pushing for a minimum USD 2 trillion infrastructure bill. Water is a critical issue in many US. states like California.

Another strategic infrastructure acquisition will help accelerate Autodesk’s digital twin strategy. Innovyze itself gains from Autodesk’s global footprint and the larger company hopes to enhance Innovyze’s footprint and presence across the water infrastructure value chain from design through construction to operations and maintenance.
