Dassault Systemes will take part in Nvidia’s annual GTC 2026 conference in San Jose, California, from March 16 to 19, following a partnership announcement with Nvidia. At its booth in the Industrial AI & Robotics Pavilion, it will showcase AI-based virtual twins, the science-based Industry World Model and a Virtual Companion combined with Nvidia AI infrastructure, open models and accelerated software libraries. It will also present demos on generative therapeutics, materials optimisation and manufacturing.

Dassault Systemes positioned natural language-based generative AI for engineering, rather than LLM-based chatbots, as a key message at 3DExperience World 2026. It unveiled virtual companions Leo and Marie to support tasks from 3D modelling to advanced engineering. The company said these tools require strong engineering data governance, including AI-optimised data classification and sharing policies. ENOVIA executive Yannick Audoir outlined three governance themes: invisible, forward and supercharged.
