The IZB 2026 – Where the automotive supplier industry is shaping the future
The International Suppliers Fair (IZB) is Europe's leading trade fair for the automotive supplier industry. From October 27 to 29, 2026, decision-makers, developers, and suppliers will meet in Wolfsburg – directly at the headquarters of Volkswagen AG – to discuss the topics that drive the industry: Speed, Quality, and Partnership.
Dassault Systèmes will be represented with its own stand in Hall 6 (Stand 6307) and will present specific solutions for the Volkswagen Group and the automotive supplier industry. Further formats (Volkswagen Theme Hubs, Live Stage, Guided Tours) are also planned.
Accelerating Software-defined Vehicle Development with AI-powered Virtual Twins and Digital Continuity.
The automotive industry is transforming from a traditional vehicle manufacturing business into a provider of highly complex, connected and software-defined mobility solutions. Developing future-ready and competitive vehicles requires new engineering approaches, seamless digital processes and close collaboration across the entire automotive value chain.
Discover how Industrial AI, Virtual Twin Experiences and Digital Continuity on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform from Dassault Systèmes enable OEMs and suppliers to accelerate engineering processes, manage product complexity and bring innovations to market faster.
Key Focus Topics:
AI in Engineering
Industrial AI powered by Virtual Twins and Virtual Companions enables more efficient engineering processes, data-driven decision-making and accelerated innovation.
OEM & Supplier Collaboration
Digital Continuity connects people, processes and product data across organizational boundaries. OEM and suppliers create a shared digital foundation for collaborative engineering, transparent change management and a consistent product definition – from the initial concept to the finished vehicle.
The result: faster decision-making, reduced complexity and accelerated time-to-market.
