Powering Europe’s Future: How Dassault Systèmes is Leading the Charge in Sustainable Energy Solutions
The journey to a climate-neutral Europe by 2050 is on a critical path. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) will play a vital role in this transformation, offering a flexible, low-carbon solution for the future’s energy demands. SMRs not only support decarbonization but also enhance Europe’s strategic autonomy and economic resilience. Recognizing this potential, Dassault Systèmes is proud to announce its participation in the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors, a collaborative effort to accelerate the development, demonstration, and deployment of SMRs across Europe.
The European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors brings together vendors, investors, suppliers, and regulators under a shared mission to address the technological, regulatory, and societal challenges surrounding SMR deployment. It aims to develop a Strategic Action Plan to streamline collaboration, strengthen the European supply chain, and promote public dialogue about the benefits and risks of SMRs. With the ambitious goal of achieving a 90% reduction in carbon emissions by 2040, the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors’ work aligns closely with Europe’s RepowerEU strategy and its broader climate-neutrality objectives.
For Dassault Systèmes, this partnership extends its leadership in digital transformation and its longstanding expertise in the energy sector. While the company already has a proven track record in supporting conventional nuclear power plant projects, SMRs represent an exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of innovation further. Dassault Systèmes uses its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create advanced digital tools for developing, certifying, and managing small modular reactors (SMRs) throughout their lifecycles. These tools will also optimize supply chains, streamline project finance, and ensure efficient operations and maintenance for future SMR deployments.
Corinne Bulota, Vice President of Infrastructure, Energy, and Materials at Dassault Systèmes, emphasizes the importance of this collaboration:
Joining the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors represents a strategic step for Dassault Systèmes in advancing sustainable energy solutions. Our mission is to empower the SMR ecosystem with the tools and technologies needed to navigate this complex yet promising landscape. By leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we aim to drive innovation, enhance collaboration, and establish Dassault Systèmes as a long-term partner in the transition to a clean energy future.
The European Industrial Alliance on SMRs is more than a collective initiative—it represents a shared commitment to creating a sustainable and resilient energy system for future generations. Dassault Systèmes is proud to be part of this effort and looks forward to contributing to the advancement of SMRs as a viable, competitive solution to Europe’s energy challenges. Together with its partners in the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors, Dassault Systèmes is shaping the future of clean energy, driving progress toward a climate-neutral Europe, and strengthening its position as a leader in the global energy transition.
Stay tuned as Dassault Systèmes continues to innovate and contribute to this transformative initiative. With collaboration, technology, and determination, the vision of a sustainable energy future is within reach.
