Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA Forge Technological Partnership
Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA have announced a partnership to develop an industrial artificial intelligence platform. This collaboration, made public on February 3, 2026, focuses on creating a technological solution dedicated to virtual twins.
Strategic Long-Term Partnership
Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA have announced a long-term strategic partnership aimed at establishing a common industrial architecture for critical artificial intelligence, deployable on a large scale across multiple sectors. This architecture combines Dassault Systèmes' Virtual Twins technology with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure, open models, and accelerated software libraries to create scientifically validated Industry World Models. Integrated into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, these models aim to position industrial AI as a critical reference system, rather than a sporadic tool. The partnership also plans to develop new working methods based on 'virtual companions' designed to assist professionals by relying on a validated industrial context.
Deployment Across Three Continents
In this context, Dassault Systèmes, through its OUTSCALE brand, is deploying AI factories incorporating NVIDIA's latest AI infrastructures on three continents, with commitments to data confidentiality, intellectual property protection, and client sovereignty. NVIDIA, for its part, will adopt Dassault Systèmes’ system engineering solutions based on models (MBSE) for the design of its AI factories, starting with the NVIDIA Rubin platform. The common infrastructure will power Dassault Systèmes' industrial Virtual Twins in various fields, including biology, materials science, engineering, and manufacturing, with use cases covering new molecule discovery, physical simulation, AI-assisted design, and virtualized production systems. The partnership was showcased at the 3DEXPERIENCE World event organized by Dassault Systèmes.
