Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE company, a reference in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), announces the launch of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab – Open Innovation Lab and Startup Accelerator Program, with the aim of further strengthening more cutting-edge and innovative projects. The initiative aims to stimulate collective intelligence, with a reciprocal collaboration approach to promote entrepreneurship, bring new experiences to life and strengthen the future of creating society.
With the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, Dassault Systèmes will help selected startups that develop products to improve the lives of people, cities, lifestyles, conceptions of ideas, the Internet of Things and digital fabrication movements. Over a period of one to two years, selected startups will have access to Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, technical skills and mentoring to create digital experiences that optimize and validate their products and processes. Access will be to the same content, technology, applications and experiences that have transformed the design, engineering and manufacturing of most products ever used by society. In addition, Dassault Systèmes' worldwide presence will help accelerate product launches and international startup participation.
“Many up-and-coming entrepreneurs are looking at the world with new eyes, even though they are forced to innovate on their own, without the benefits of a larger network to create and validate their ideas. The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab ensures greater alignment with our purpose of collaborative economy by offering new ways to contribute to pioneering projects, revealing talents, creating new spaces for interaction and promoting an open and creative corporate culture”, says Bernard Charlès, Executive President of Dassault Systèmes .
The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab was launched in parallel with the Dassault Systèmes Foundation, created to support innovative and transformative projects in education, research and scientific knowledge in academic institutions, research institutes, museums, associations, cultural centers and other organizations of general interest through the European Union.
