Acendae, a Netherlands-headquartered digital engineering company, has expanded its Sri Lankan engineering operations as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its position in European markets.
The company works with startups, scaleups, and digital agencies across Europe, delivering embedded engineering and design teams that function as integrated parts of client organisations.
Structural transformation in software development
The European software industry is experiencing a structural transformation driven by the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence in engineering workflows.
Development teams are increasingly expected to deliver faster outputs while maintaining higher levels of quality and adaptability.
Acendae CEO Pramuka Godakanda said this shift is redefining global engineering standards.
“We are entering a phase where AI is embedded across every stage of the software development lifecycle. Teams that can adapt to this will define the next generation of digital products,” he said.
Moving beyond traditional outsourcing models
Acendae’s delivery model focuses on long-term embedded teams rather than project-based outsourcing arrangements.
This approach allows clients to maintain closer integration with development teams while scaling more efficiently across product cycles.
The expansion of Sri Lankan operations supports this model, enabling Acendae to strengthen its distributed delivery capability across Europe and Asia.
