Accenture announced the acquisition of Verum Partners, an infrastructure and capital‑projects management firm headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The deal brings Verum’s 180‑person team—specialized in mining, metals, transportation, logistics, chemicals, and energy—to Accenture’s Infrastructure & Capital Projects practice.
The transaction is designed to combine Verum’s on‑site execution expertise with Accenture’s digital and AI‑driven tools. Together, the firms aim to help clients in Latin America deliver projects more efficiently, reduce rework, improve productivity, and accelerate operational handover. This integration supports Accenture’s broader strategy of embedding AI into complex delivery environments.
The acquisition comes at a time when infrastructure investment in Brazil and the wider Latin American region is accelerating, driven by expansion in mining, grid modernization, energy transition programs, and transportation projects. Analysts note that roughly 90% of large infrastructure projects fail to meet schedule and budget targets, underscoring the need for enhanced project‑management capabilities.
Accenture’s move is part of a series of recent acquisitions—such as DLB Associates, Anser Advisory, and Comtech—that have expanded its global footprint in infrastructure and capital projects. By adding Verum’s field‑based experience, Accenture strengthens its position in a high‑growth market and reinforces its commitment to delivering end‑to‑end solutions for large‑scale industrial projects.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but the acquisition adds significant talent and expertise to Accenture’s Latin American operations, positioning the company to capture a larger share of the region’s growing infrastructure market.
