# That $1 billion acquisition of Portland’s Innovyze? It’s the largest in Autodesk history

Just came across another random tidbit about [Autodesk acquiring Portland’s Innovyze for $1 billion](https://siliconflorist.com/2021/02/25/autodesk-to-acquire-portlands-innovyze-at-a-unicorn-valuation/). And no I’m not just looking for an excuse to say “[wet infrastructure](https://twitter.com/dtboyd/status/1365103558970941442)” again. Oh. Well crap. Anyway… It just happens to be [the largest acquisition in Autodesk history](https://www.zdnet.com/article/autodesk-spends-1-billion-to-acquire-innovyze/). And that’s something, considering [Autodesk has a significant history of acquiring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk#Corporate_acquisitions).

> The acquisition is the largest in Autodesk’s history and is meant to position Autodesk as a provider of end-to-end software for the operations of water infrastructure.
