Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA Partner to Build Industrial AI Platform Powering Virtual Twins

Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA announced a long-term strategic partnership to establish a shared industrial architecture for mission-critical artificial intelligence across industries. The companies will combine Dassault Systèmes Virtual Twin technologies with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, open models and accelerated software libraries. This combination will establish science-validated Industry World Models and support skilled virtual companions on the agentic 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Pascal Daloz, CEO of Dassault Systèmes, said the partnership establishes a new foundation for industrial AI that is trustworthy by design. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said physical AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence, grounded in the laws of the physical world. The collaboration unites decades of industrial leadership with NVIDIA AI and Omniverse platforms to transform how researchers, designers and engineers build the world's largest industries. Dassault Systèmes is deploying AI factories through its OUTSCALE brand. These factories will harness the latest NVIDIA AI infrastructure on three continents to operate AI models in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform while guaranteeing data privacy, intellectual property protection and sovereignty of customers. NVIDIA is adopting Dassault Systèmes model-based systems engineering to design AI factories, starting with the NVIDIA Rubin platform. The work integrates into the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint for large-scale AI factory deployment. The infrastructure will power industrial Virtual Twins in several areas. These include advancing biology and materials research with the NVIDIA BioNeMo platform and BIOVIA science-validated world models, AI-driven design and engineering with SIMULIA leveraging NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and AI physics libraries, and virtual twins for factories with DELMIA and NVIDIA Omniverse physical AI libraries. Virtual companions on the 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform will combine NVIDIA AI technologies and Nemotron open models with Dassault Systèmes Industry World Models. The partnership elevates the existing collaboration to a shared long-term vision for how industrial AI will be built, validated and deployed at scale. The partnership was announced at 3DEXPERIENCE World, Dassault Systèmes annual event dedicated to the design and engineering communities.
