Reinventing a sustainable economy

We strongly believe that virtual universes are a key enabler for our customers to imagine, design and test the radically new products, materials and manufacturing processes that drive a more sustainable economy, as quickly as possible. Our virtual twin solutions empower companies to calculate the environmental impact of every product decision while there’s still time to make different, more sustainable choices.

Specifically, applying a virtual twin can help support:

• Decarbonization: create a carbon-free global economy through the targeted, technologically-enabled reduction of emissions across value chains, including alternative fuels, electrification, renewable energy, carbon-offset projects, lifecycle assessment processes and sustainable working practices.
• Circular Economy: move away from the “take-make-waste” linear model by creating a new systems approach based on three principles: 1) eliminate waste and reduce pollution, 2) keep products and materials in use for a longer period of time and 3) regenerate natural systems.
• Sustainable Production: do more and better with less, balancing resource management and the whole lifecycle of a product, from environmen­tally friendly raw materials to eco-design to recyclability.
• Reduced Energy Use: make strategic decisions on how to reduce the amount and type of energy required by an organization to provide goods and services.

Since 2015, La Fondation Dassault Systèmes has supported the transformation of education, research, and the way we protect cultural heritage. It proudly sponsors projects that aspire to inspire future generation to reimagine and create a more sustainable and equitable world. We continued this mission in 2021, supporting projects across the world, including:

• Mission Ocean: to facilitate student learning through virtual universes that allow them to deepen their knowledge in scientific disciplines while discovering the major challenges of the oceans.
• Self-sufficient Smart Villages: to address challenges in India’s rural villages created by a scarcity of continuous access to electricity, water, and waste disposal; students are developing circular economy solutions to produce, consume and recycle and reduce dependence.
• Jumpstart Fellowship Program: to provide education and mentoring to diverse Boston high school girls, teaching them technical skills in the robotics industry – from programming to design and simulation, to hands-on building, prototyping and testing – helping build their confidence and future paths.
