VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY - June 26, 2025 - Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and Delft University of information technology, the Netherlands' biggest university of innovation, today announced that TU Delft ended up being the 28th member of Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence global program, developing a special chance for Dutch students and professionals to develop in-demand digital skills in aerospace, producing automation and other sectors.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence label recognizes TU Delft as the very first university in the Netherlands to provide tested competence in using and releasing Dassault Systèmes' cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform for experiential and lifelong knowing. TU Delft likewise becomes the very first member to abide by the modified charter of the program, which identifies a member's understanding of virtual twins and the best practices emerging in generative industries.

"We're proud to end up being the first 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence in the Netherlands. It helps us to satisfy the growing need for competent skill to lead the digital change and accelerated development for a large range of industries, from aviation to maritime, and the clever and flexible automation of production," said Henri Werij, Dean Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft.

Stronger cooperation between market, academia and technology leaders is essential to develop ingenious learning approaches that improve employability and accelerate upskilling. Today's aerospace industry, in particular, needs extremely knowledgeable labor to sustain a culture of development, however faces challenges in replacing a retiring workforce to lower the skills space. Since its launch in 2021, the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program has actually trained thousands of 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 concentrated on smart advanced manufacturing. Starting in September 2025, programs will engage university departments, used sciences organizations and market partners, using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to industry-relevant use cases. Students will discover to deal with virtual twins, supported by platform-certified instructors, to prepare them for developing and future tasks, while specialists in the long-lasting learning curriculum of the university can upskill.

"We're thrilled to welcome TU Delft and its SAM XL field lab into our 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program. This collaboration leverages our aspiration to offer 3D UNIV+RSES that integrate virtual twins, industry-driven AI, and real-world applications to prepare future engineers for the generative economy. By co-developing programs with industry partners at SAM XL, TU Delft is helping close the abilities space and accelerate digital change. Together, we are shaping the next generation of aerospace excellence," said Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice-President, Industry, Marketing and Sustainability, Dassault Systèmes.
