NVIDIA and Dassault Systèmes Partner to Develop Industrial AI Platform
According to the Economic Desk of Webangah News Agency, NVIDIA and Dassault Systèmes unveiled a strategic partnership on Tuesday, February 2, 2025, to co-develop an industrial AI platform. The collaboration aims to merge NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure with Dassault’s virtual twin technology, enabling advanced applications across multiple industries.
The U.S. tech giant stated that integrating Dassault’s Virtual Twin solutions with NVIDIA’s accelerated software libraries will create scientifically validated global industry models. These models will serve as reference systems for designing, simulating, and implementing complex products and manufacturing processes.
The partnership seeks to move beyond limited AI solutions by embedding industrial AI systems within technical constraints, physical laws, and verified industry knowledge. Both companies emphasized that their joint effort will produce comprehensive industry models capable of transforming product development cycles.
This initiative builds upon 25 years of technical and commercial cooperation, initially focused on running Dassault’s CATIA design software on NVIDIA GPUs. The collaboration later expanded to include physics simulations using NVIDIA’s CUDA and RTX technologies.
The companies described the agreement as a significant step toward “physical AI” – systems that understand and reason about real-world environments and physical laws, beyond just processing text or images.
Dassault Systèmes plans to implement NVIDIA’s infrastructure across three continents for its Outscale-branded AI factories, ensuring data sovereignty, IP protection, and regulatory compliance while allowing customers to develop custom AI models.
Conversely, NVIDIA will utilize Dassault’s model-based systems engineering tools to establish its own AI factories, beginning with the flagship Rubin platform. NVIDIA’s Omniverse DSX program for large-scale AI factory deployment will also align with this joint strategy.
