VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY – June 26, 2025 – Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands’ largest university of innovation, today revealed that TU Delft ended up being the 28th member of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence global program, producing an unique chance for Dutch trainees and experts to establish sought-after digital abilities in aerospace, manufacturing automation and other sectors.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence label recognizes TU Delft as the very first university in the Netherlands to offer proven proficiency in utilizing and deploying Dassault Systèmes’ cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform for experiential and lifelong learning. TU Delft also ends up being the very first member to stick to the modified charter of the program, which distinguishes a member’s knowledge of virtual twins and the very best practices emerging in generative industries.
“We’re happy to become the very first 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence in the Netherlands. It assists us to fulfill the growing demand for experienced skill to lead the digital improvement and accelerated innovation for a broad range of industries, from air travel to maritime, and the smart and versatile automation of manufacturing,” said Henri Werij, Dean Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft.
Stronger collaboration between industry, academic community and innovation leaders is essential to discovering methods that enhance employability and accelerate upskilling. Today’s aerospace industry, in specific, needs extremely proficient labor to sustain a culture of development, but faces obstacles in replacing a retiring labor force to decrease the skills gap. Since its launch in 2021, the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program has actually trained countless graduates.
As a 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence, TU Delft will establish programs bridging education and practice at SAM XL, its campus-based field lab focused on smart innovative production. Starting in September 2025, programs will engage university departments, applied sciences organizations and market partners, applying the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to industry-relevant use cases. Students will discover to deal with virtual twins, supported by platform-certified trainers, to prepare them for progressing and future tasks, while experts in the long-lasting learning curriculum of the university can upskill.
“We’re enjoyed welcome TU Delft and its SAM XL field lab into our 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program. This collaboration leverages our ambition to provide 3D UNIV+RSES that combine virtual twins, industry-driven AI, and real-world applications to prepare future engineers for the generative economy. By co-developing programs with market partners at SAM XL, TU Delft is assisting close the skills gap and accelerate digital transformation. Together, we are forming the next generation of aerospace excellence,” stated Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice-President, Industry, Marketing and Sustainability, Dassault Systèmes.
