DASSAULT SYSTÈMES
Leading executives from Dassault Systèmes EuroNorth on using virtual universes to imagine sustainable innovations to harmonise product , nature and life

Making the world a better place . That ’ s something we can all aspire to , but also an aim that drives and inspires Dassault Systèmes – the 3DEXPERIENCE company that creates virtual universes to model , simulate and evaluate designs , actions and impacts . Put simply , this software allows users to experiment – safe in the knowledge that trial and error leads to better outcomes .

“ We are a 3D experience company , and we consider ourselves to be a real catalyst for human progress ,” says John Kitchingman , Managing Director , EuroNorth for Dassault Systèmes .
“ We provide businesses and people with collaborative 3D experience environments to enable sustainable innovations . Our customers have pushed the boundaries of innovation and we do that with over 290,000 customers across 140 different countries .” Kitchingman says that the COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated the adoption of virtual design , with teams of people now able to collaborate in ways that are simply not possible with physical prototyping .
The good news is , it ’ s not just manufacturing giants that are benefitting from Dassault Systèmes ’ technology – SMEs and individuals are all reaping the rewards of virtual twins . The company was originally part of Dassault Aviation until emerging as its own entity 40 years ago , so it ’ s not surprising to hear that that aerospace sector was one of the early adopters .
