Nvidia will partner up with Dassault Systèmes to combine their AI infrastructure and virtual twin technologies.

The announcement was made during Dassault Systèmes’ flagship 3DExperience World conference currently taking place in Houston, US.

Speaking at the event, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang said: “We are partners in bringing this technology to the world. This is the start of a platform shift that is the largest integration of our technologies in history.”

Joining him on stage, Pascal Daloz, CEO of Dassault Systèmes, added: “Together with Nvidia, we are building industry world models that unite virtual twins and accelerated computing to help industry design, simulate and operate complex systems in biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing with confidence. 

“This partnership establishes a new foundation for industrial AI, one that is trustworthy by design and capable of scaling innovation across the generative economy.”

Dassault Systèmes, through its OUTSCALE brand, is building AI factories for its cloud services, which will use Nvidia’s technology in locations across three continents, allowing customers to run AI models on Dassault’s 3DExperience platform while keeping their data and intellectual property safe and under their control.

Meanwhile, Nvidia is adopting Dassault Systèmes’ model-based systems engineering to design AI factories, starting with the Nvidia Rubin platform and integrating into the Nvidia Omniverse DSX Blueprint for large-scale AI factory deployment.

This infrastructure will power Dassault Systèmes’ industrial virtual twins using Nvidia open models and libraries, unlocking new opportunities across biology, materials science, engineering and manufacturing. 

Huang said: “Physical AI is the next frontier of artificial intelligence, grounded in the laws of the physical world. Together with Dassault Systèmes, we’re uniting decades of industrial leadership with Nvidia’s AI and Omniverse platforms to transform how millions of researchers, designers and engineers build the world’s largest industries.”
