Join us at the CATIA Design & Engineering Day and discover how leading organisations are shaping the future of engineering with CATIA.
The day will open with a keynote from CATIA CEO Olivier Sappin, who will share his vision for engineering powered by Industrial AI. As products become more complex and development cycles accelerate, the most successful engineering teams are moving beyond viewing AI as simply another feature. Instead, they are embedding AI at the heart of how they design, simulate, collaborate and make critical decisions, transforming the way innovation happens across the product lifecycle.
You'll also discover how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform extends the value of CATIA by connecting people, data and processes in a collaborative environment, whether deployed on the cloud or on premise. Learn how engineering teams are improving collaboration, streamlining product development and creating a foundation for AI driven engineering.
Building on this vision, you'll hear directly from industry leaders as they share their own transformation journeys. Through real world examples, they will demonstrate how they are tackling industry challenges, driving engineering excellence, improving collaboration and accelerating innovation in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Whether you're looking to gain practical insights, learn from your peers, or understand how Industrial AI is reshaping engineering, this event offers a unique opportunity to discover what's possible and be inspired by those already leading the way.
Full agenda to be announced soon!
