How?

By harnessing virtual experiences to model the social and environmental impacts of every innovation at the design stage.

Our purpose is to “harmonize product, nature and life”. This can only happen when we put people at the heart of innovation.

This means harnessing the power of imagination to understand human needs. Based on this understanding, we can develop services and products that improve the lives of other people and their communities.

It also means understanding a crucial human need: to harmonize the way we live with the environment and the natural ressources that support us.

By designing around human and real-world experiences, we can empower people and, together, create solutions for a better future. This why we believe the only progress is human.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are the worldwide guidelines to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, focusing on the end of poverty, improving health and education, reducing inequality, spurring economic growth, tackling climate change and preserving oceans and forests. These goals drive long-term regulations by governments, investments by the financial community, human resources incentives, and business value initiatives to instill positive change, reduce resource consumption, and reach net-zero carbon emissions.

Dassault Systèmes is committed to achieve these goals not only by making changes to ourselves but enabling the change with our customers and partners. Through the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, we are accelerating sustainable innovation by nurturing innovative start-ups whose objectives are to make positive impact to the environment, society and economy.
