HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 3, 2026--
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and NVIDIA today announced a long-term strategic partnership to establish a shared industrial architecture for mission-critical artificial intelligence across industries.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260203173462/en/
Combining Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models and accelerated software libraries will establish science-validated industry World Models, and new ways of working through skilled virtual companions on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform, that empower professionals with new expertise.
“We are entering an era where artificial intelligence does not just predict or generate, but understands the real world. When AI is grounded in science, physics and validated industrial knowledge, it becomes a force multiplier for human ingenuity,” said Pascal Daloz, CEO of Dassault Systèmes. “Together with NVIDIA, we are building industry World Models that unite Virtual Twins and accelerated computing to help industry design, simulate and operate complex systems in biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing with confidence. This partnership establishes a new foundation for industrial AI, one that is trustworthy by design and capable of scaling innovation across the generative economy.”
"Physical AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence, grounded in the laws of the physical world,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together with Dassault Systèmes, we’re uniting decades of industrial leadership with NVIDIA’s AI and Omniverse platforms to transform how millions of researchers, designers and engineers build the world’s largest industries.”
Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA Partner to Accelerate Every Industry
Dassault Systèmes, with its OUTSCALE brand, is deploying AI factories as part of its sustainable and sovereign cloud strategy. OUTSCALE AI factories will harness the latest NVIDIA AI infrastructure on three continents, bringing additional capabilities to operate AI models in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, while guaranteeing data privacy, intellectual property protection and sovereignty of Dassault Systèmes’ customers.
NVIDIA is adopting Dassault Systèmes model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to design AI factories, starting with the NVIDIA Rubin platform and integrating into the NVIDIA Omniverse™ DSX Blueprint for large-scale AI factory deployment.
This infrastructure will power Dassault Systèmes’ industrial Virtual Twins using NVIDIA open models and libraries, unlocking new opportunities across biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing:
The partnership elevates the existing collaboration between Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA to a shared long-term vision for how industrial AI will be built, validated and deployed at scale, through a unique combination of Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Factories and NVIDIA’s AI technologies for all industries.
Global Leaders Build the Future of Industry With Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA
“Bel Group is building a sustainable food future through responsible formulation and packaging. Through the NVIDIA-Dassault Systèmes collaboration, we gain the computational power to model and optimize our products at scale-accelerating innovation while delivering on our sustainability commitments,” said Cécile Béliot, CEO of Bel Group.
“To address the growing complexity of modern manufacturing, the industry must move toward fully autonomous and digitally validated production systems,” said Motohiro Yamanishi, President of Industrial Automation at OMRON. “By combining NVIDIA Physical AI frameworks with Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin Factory and OMRON’s automation technologies, manufacturers can move from design to deployment with greater confidence and speed.”
"Lucid's award-winning engineering and technology continues to set new standards in the automotive industry, and Dassault Systèmes remains a key partner, enabling us to stay at the forefront of vehicle and powertrain engineering,” said Vivek Attaluri, Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Lucid. "Agility, speed of innovation and rapid iteration are at the core of our work flows, and our exploration of Virtual Twin AI-based physics, powered by NVIDIA’s open-source physics informed AI models, has the potential to help our teams move from concept to production faster than ever before, without sacrificing predictive accuracy. We look forward to continued collaboration and leveraging these new tools to support Lucid's future innovations."
“NIAR empowers the next generation of aircraft. From asset digitization through design and manufacturing creation and validation, Virtual Twin technology introduces unparalleled capabilities and efficiency. Dassault Systèmes' Virtual Companions for engineering, leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform using NVIDIA Nemotron open models and Dassault Systèmes Industry World Models, accelerate the by-design compliant synthesis of aircraft Virtual Twins. Using the platform to align the Virtual Twin to the means of compliance, reduces certification efforts while preserving sovereignty of the information,“ said Shawn Ehrstein, Director, Emerging Technologies and CAD/CAM, National Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State University.
The partnership was announced today at 3DEXPERIENCE World, Dassault Systèmes’ annual event dedicated to the design and engineering communities. Daloz and Huang were on stage to discuss the future of industry powered by AI on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 9 a.m. CT. A replay of the conversation will be available on YouTube.
