🎤 8 Plenary Talks | 40 Breakout Sessions | 13 Customer Presentations

On June 4, we proudly launched the first edition of the CATIA Creative Design & Engineering Days, a vibrant gathering dedicated to bridging the gap between creative design and advanced engineering. Held at the Science Congress Center in Munich, the event welcomed 344 attendees from 23 countries, exceeding our expectations and energizing our vision for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Two Worlds, One Platform

The event was designed to showcase the synergy between designers and engineers—two disciplines that thrive when connected. Attendees experienced live demos, customer success stories, and expert insights into how CATIA and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform are reshaping innovation.

Day 1 Highlights

After a welcome from @JI, the conference kicked off with a keynote by @Sabine Scheunert, Managing Director at ECAL, who explored the Paradigm Shift From Design to Generative Experience.

She was followed by @OS, offering a visionary look at the future of engineering with CATIA, touching on everything from conceptual design to systems engineering.

A crowd favorite: the live Apple Vision Pro demo by @RP, @XM, and @SM, showcasing immersive design and engineering workflows on stage.

Customer Spotlights

• Hyundai Mobis’ Inseong Yoo presented on lamp design innovation.
• CLAAS shared their approach to Multi-Discipline Engineering—integrating mechanical, electrical, and fluidic design.
• Volkswagen’s Robert Schulte revealed their PLM vision with 3DEXPERIENCE.
• Stian Alseth, a student from NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), wowed the audience with his Rocketry Design project—developed entirely on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
