(PRESS RELEASE) MILAN, 17-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Accenture has agreed to acquire Alfahealth, a subsidiary of Engineering Group, in a move aimed at expanding its digital health capabilities and strengthening its healthcare transformation services in Italy.

The acquisition will add to Accenture’s healthcare practice a service-led digital health platform designed for the Italian market. The platform helps healthcare organisations modernise clinical processes, connect data across the care continuum, improve patient access and enhance patient experience and outcomes.

Alfahealth has more than 20 years of experience developing and operating technology capabilities for the healthcare sector. Its services-plus-product model supports different parts of the patient journey, including clinical workflows, diagnostics, administrative processes and operational activities.

The company’s technology enables healthcare providers to connect data and support more integrated models of care, while meeting the scale, regulatory requirements and operational needs of the Italian healthcare market.

For Accenture, the planned acquisition fits into its broader strategy of combining services, software, data and AI-powered platforms through an integrated services and product model. The goal is to help clients achieve sustainable end-to-end transformation across complex industries such as healthcare.

Alfahealth’s position in the Italian healthcare sector is expected to be strengthened further through Accenture’s capabilities in data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and cloud technologies.

Teodoro Lio, Market Unit Lead for Accenture in Italy, said Italy is at an important stage in the transformation of its healthcare system, with growing investment in digital health, interoperability and new models of care. He said Alfahealth brings deep healthcare expertise, trusted relationships with healthcare organisations across Italy and capabilities for digitising and orchestrating clinical and administrative processes.

Lio added that the combined capabilities of Accenture and Alfahealth will help healthcare providers and institutions accelerate innovation, improve care delivery and create more connected, data-driven and personalised experiences for people across Italy, supported by data and artificial intelligence.

The acquisition will bring around 1,200 specialised professionals into Accenture Italy’s Health practice. Alfahealth also brings a strong position in the Italian healthcare sector, including experience supporting national programmes in a regulated environment.
