Dassault Systèmes is in the business of innovation. Through our unique solutions, we bring virtual twin experiences to everyone - including you! We’re proud to say we’ve come far since our inception.
Ours is a story of a humble startup that has grown into a multinational presence across industries.
We began in 1981 with a small team of around 20 engineers, primarily supporting the aerospace industry with just one brand: CATIA. Today, our workforce has grown to more than 22,500 with a portfolio of 12 brands that serve almost every industry you can think of.
Science is our DNA. We accompany players across the globe as they address the world’s biggest challenges using virtual universes. Whether it’s 3D Design, Digital Mock-Up (DMU), or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), we do it all - and are continuing to grow.
Since 2020, we have been applying our knowledge and know-how to better understand and evolve the organic world – in essence, extending our impact from things to life. By providing the life sciences and healthcare industry with virtual twin experiences of the human body we can uncover complex mysteries yet to be solved and help people live healthier lives.
The virtual world can help us improve the real one. In the virtual world, we can simulate and evaluate the impact of our actions before making them real. This offers innovators the flexibility to explore their ideas freely and create while keeping people and the environment top of mind from the very start.
Here’s our pitch to you: If you’ve got an idea for absolutely anything, from a prosthetic leg to your dream motorbike to a way to make your city more sustainable, you can work with our solutions to design it, model it, simulate it, test it, manufacture it and even market it. Our solutions can help you bring your vision to life!
From life sciences and healthcare, to cities and infrastructure, to manufacturing and beyond, we’re part of every second of your life - and today, you get to learn how.
Our firm belief is that The Only Progress is Human. We offer the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to empower individuals as well as companies to create sustainable products and services that meet our world’s biggest challenges. Only by putting human experience and people at the center of the innovation process can we advance together as a global community.
From this comes our ambition: to tackle the challenges we face everyday, and get closer to a world that harmonizes product, nature and life.
Now that you’ve got the basics, let’s dive deeper!

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the backbone of a company’s product development.
Dassault Systèmes is innovation-driven. In 2012 we embraced transformation by shifting from a software company to an experience company. What does that mean? We provide our customers not just with products but with services and content that focus on improving end-user experience. We designed our 3DEXPERIENCE platform as a collaborative environment that empowers people and businesses to innovate in entirely new ways.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform empowers next-generation innovators to enhance the real world through the virtual world: Creating, designing and testing the new experiences needed to create and maintain a sustainable economy from idea to market delivery to usage.
The platform, available both on cloud and on-premise, provides organizations with a holistic, real-time view of their business activity and ecosystem, connecting people, ideas, data and solutions together in a single environment.
Every day, both individuals and companies ranging from startups to the world’s largest enterprises turn industry challenges into business opportunities thanks to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

For the past 40+ years, Dassault Systèmes has touched the world by enabling breakthroughs that have impacted human-kind. As these transformative innovations continue, and we shift our focus from things to life, our mission remains the same.
We enable sustainable economic and social innovations to help improve the world. We believe that The Only Progress is Human and virtual twin experiences fuel this progress by offering unlimited potential to drive human-centric progress.
Our values are driven by a shared ambition: to make a lasting, positive impact on society. We help people build a questioning mindset that we call IFWE: “IF” refers to our passion to explore new possibilities and “WE” is our belief that, by connecting people, we can bring positive change.
As the global leader in sustainable innovation, Dassault Systèmes is led by an inspiring group of leaders who are driven to execute our long-term vision of addressing the globe’s major challenges.
Through a multi-year initiative, Dassault Systèmes is shedding light on 10 major challenges the world is facing, inviting the world to discover how innovation plays a key role in addressing humanity’s needs.
For each challenge, we respond with an act. Each act symbolizes and highlights our commitment to meet these ten challenges, and to inspire others to act in their own spheres. Though no one solution is sufficient on its own, when innovations are made by people, for people, they can lead to real progress, and change the world.
We are changing the rules of the game to make a positive impact on society.
