Leaders of the AEC transformation gathered for a week of inspiration, learning and connection to unlock the future of AEC digital transformation during Dassault Systèmes’ AEC Summit 2026.

By virtualizing construction knowledge and know-how thanks to Virtual Construction Twins, our industry is at a turning point towards sustainable growth, redefining how expertise is created and scaled across the AEC ecosystem, leveraging AI, Productization and Virtual Construction Twins.

  • 150+ worldwide visionary leaders and live testimonies
  • CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, 3DEXPERIENCE champions
  • Connections within Dassault Systèmes AEC experts
  • R&D hands-on classes

Dassault Systèmes introducing 3D UNIVER+SES for AEC

While getting industrialization at scale, our industry is elevating performance, redefining how we design, build, and operate.  By virtualizing knowledge and know-how thanks to Virtual Construction Twins, we are reshaping decision-making, sustainability, and productivity at an unprecedented scale. From large-scale infrastructures (datacenters, hospitals, industrial facilities) to residential and institutional projects, we explored the latest developments towards industrialization enabled by prefabrication, offsite and Productization approaches.

Unlock Dassault Systèmes’ enablers regarding industrialization at scale, complex infrastructures’ management through systems thinking, and connection of enterprises to projects.

Discover how Dassault Systèmes’ core capabilities, including virtual twins, virtual companions, and generative experiences, are helping organizations transform the way they design, build, and operate complex assets thanks for 3D UNIVER+SES for AEC.

AEC in the era of AI Factories

Unlike traditional data centers, AI factories are purpose-built to manufacture intelligence at scale, tightly integrating accelerated infrastructure and AI software to optimize token generation, the fundamental unit of AI.

AI Factories, the next gen of datacenters are one of the largest infrastructure, including complex technologies needed to work the first time. Using MBSE, NVIDIA is leveraging design, planning, simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, running the network and the supercomputers inside the Virtual Twin before starting to build.
Listen to Sean Young, Director of AEC / EPC at NVIDIA sharing his vision and insights on those complex infrastructure projects.

Improving building delivery via AI Infrastructure

Get onboard with Justin Schwaiger, Prefabrication Technology Leader at DPR Construction and get the keys on how contractors can achieve prefabrication work at a scale never seen before.

Bouygues Construction: Virtualization Knowledge And Know-how to Empower the Entire Project Value Chain

Bertrand de Peufeilhoux, Director of the BRYCK project at Bouygues Construction is sharing an update on the company journey to standardize their methods from conception to field execution, with concrete examples already deployed across projects.

The new challenges of Prefabricators

Prefabricators are under increasing pressure to meet growing demand while scaling offsite manufacturing, improving productivity, and delivering more sustainable solutions. As customer expectations evolve, digitalization and Industrial AI are becoming essential to optimize production, strengthen collaboration with general contractors, and improve project delivery.
