Synopsys Outlines Vision for Engineering the Future

Synopsys Inc. opened its new flagship conference, Synopsys Converge 2026, on March 11, 2026, in Sunnyvale, California. President and chief executive Sassine Ghazi delivered a keynote outlining a vision for a silicon-to-systems design paradigm in the era of pervasive intelligence. The approach is silicon-powered, AI-enabled and software-defined. Ghazi announced new engineering solutions across the Synopsys expanded portfolio to advance how innovators design, verify and deliver next-generation AI-powered products. The complexity of next-generation intelligent systems requires a completely new engineering approach, he said. By integrating co-design of software and hardware, electronics and physics, harnessing digital twins to design, test and refine products before physical production, and using AI to enhance human capabilities, customers research and development teams can accelerate time to market of their intelligent systems, Ghazi said. At Synopsys Converge, we are demonstrating the power of our silicon-to-systems engineering solutions that make us the best partner for engineering the future, he said. Customers and partners such as AMD, Intel, Microsoft and NVIDIA were featured during the keynote. Synopsys, AMD and Microsoft are initiating a collaboration to enable faster access to Synopsys EDA tools on Microsoft platforms, powered by AMD compute.
