HCLTech and Husqvarna: Innovating for the Future Together

Our NEO partnership brings engineering depth, AI capability and data expertise into Husqvarna's product and operations agenda from the edge of the device to the enterprise. It is a relationship built on co-creation, not delivery alone. Technology Day 2026 celebrates what that has made possible and previews what comes next.
