At [NVIDIA GTC](https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/) Berlin from Oct. 20-22, 2026, Dassault Systèmes will demonstrate how its industrial AI architecture brings trusted intelligence into the physical world. Building on its long-standing collaboration with NVIDIA [announced earlier this year](https://www.3ds.com/newsroom/press-releases/dassault-systemes-and-nvidia-partner-build-industrial-ai-platform-powering-virtual-twins), Dassault Systèmes will showcase how Virtual Twins, Industry World Models and Virtual Companions are transforming engineering, manufacturing, science and AI infrastructure, at booth 3006:

- Long-running Virtual Companions: Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Companions AURA, LEO and MARIE demonstrate how agentic AI can reason, plan and execute complex industrial tasks over time, while keeping human expertise at the center.
- AI-powered engineering: Virtual Companions work alongside engineers from requirements to final design, to evaluate alternatives and expand possibilities. The engineer stays in control while AI expands the design space at machine speed.
- Physical AI for manufacturing: Manufacturers can explore a Virtual Twin of a production system with a fully automated, end-to-end process with Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA applications.
- AI for science: MARIE supports scientific workflows in an interactive laboratory experience, combining Dassault Systèmes scientific knowledge with NVIDIA [BioNeMo](https://docs.nvidia.com/bionemo-framework/latest/) Agent Toolkit. [BioNeMo](https://docs.nvidia.com/bionemo-framework/latest/) Agent Toolkit turns any agent or software platform into a life sciences agent. It equips general agents, scientific agents, and in-house platforms with ready-to-call tools for biology, chemistry, and drug discovery –along with skills for using tools and interpreting results— moving agents from reading science to actually doing it.
- Engineering AI Factories: Virtual Twins, model-based systems engineering and LEO can be used to design, simulate and validate AI Factories based on the NVIDIA DSX reference architecture.

Scheduled sessions with Dassault Systèmes executives include:

- Florence Hu-Aubigny, Executive Vice President, Research and Development, Dassault Systèmes, on the technologies behind virtual twin factories: “Virtual Companions: Industrial AI Agents at Work,” Oct. 21, 15:30-16:10.
- Karine Gosse, vice president R&D, DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes, and Chris Whiting, vice president R&D, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes, on the benefits of using industrial knowledge and physics-based models: “Automotive’s Agentic Era: from vehicle design to the factory floor with virtual twins,” Oct. 22, 11:00-11:40.
