Wipro Expands Seoul Footprint With New Innovation Lab

Wipro Limited has expanded its business operations in South Korea with an enlarged office footprint in Seoul and the launch of a new Innovation Lab as part of the Wipro Innovation Network. The expansion reinforces South Korea as a strategic growth market and aims to strengthen service to local clients and support global engagements. The company has announced continued investment in local talent and partnerships with academic institutions to upskill early-career professionals for advanced technology programmes.

South Korea is recognised as a global innovation hub in semiconductors, advanced technology, automotive engineering and industrial manufacturing, and demand from South Korean enterprises for AI-led transformation is increasing. The Seoul Innovation Lab will operate within the Wipro Innovation Network and will enable co-creation, rapid experimentation and solution development with clients and ecosystem partners. The facility will showcase Wipro Intelligence, a unified suite of AI-powered platforms and solutions, and will focus on technology, automotive and industrial sectors.

The lab will support use cases such as intelligent product engineering, software-defined vehicles, smart manufacturing, supply-chain optimisation and AI-enabled operations, combining local industry knowledge with Wipro's global AI and engineering capabilities to accelerate innovation from concept to deployment. Wipro employs several hundred professionals in South Korea and serves clients through a local presence complemented by its global Wipro Delivery Network, providing specialised skills, industry expertise and scalable global capabilities while maintaining close local engagement.

The expansion follows the integration of the Digital Transformation Solutions business unit of HARMAN, a Samsung company, and more than 5,000 professionals have joined Wipro through that acquisition, strengthening product engineering and digital transformation capabilities. With the launch of the Seoul Innovation Lab, Wipro now operates nine innovation facilities globally, including five across the APMEA region. The company reported over 230,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries and stated the investment underlines its long-term commitment to the region.
