As the business landscape continues to evolve at a pace never seen before, staying ahead of technological disruptions and industry transformations has become critical for companies across sectors. For nearly two decades, the 3DEXPERIENCE Forum India has served as a beacon of knowledge and innovation, bringing together the brightest minds in engineering, manufacturing, and technology. This year, in its 18th edition, the forum not only marks a milestone of longevity but also showcases the continuous evolution of ideas, technologies, and strategies that have shaped industries.
The 18th edition of the 3DEXPERIENCE Forum India 2024, is the perfect moment to reflect on the transformative journey this forum has undertaken over the years. This isn’t just an annual event—it’s a platform that has continuously evolved to showcase the changing landscapes of industry, technology, and business. From its humble beginnings, where the focus was on digital adoption and operational efficiencies, to the present day, each edition of the forum has reflected the shifting dynamics of the industry, focusing on emerging themes that challenge the status quo and push businesses toward a more sustainable, resilient future.
A Journey Through the Seasons: Then and Now
The 3DEXPERIENCE Forum has always mirrored the industry’s pressing needs and emerging trends. Over the years, each season has introduced a fresh perspective, aligning the forum’s theme with the critical transformations taking place in the world of business and technology. Here is a look at how the forum has evolved season by season:
2014-2016: Business in the Age of Experience
These early years of the forum marked the dawn of the Experience Economy. The theme, “Business in the Age of Experience,” resonated for three consecutive years, emphasizing the growing need for companies to transition from traditional business models to experience-driven strategies. As industries began to realize that the future lay in creating meaningful experiences, the forum provided the insights and tools needed to navigate this shift.
2017: Digitization Takes Centre Stage
In 2017, the theme evolved to “Aiming to Transform Your Business Through Digitization.” Digitization was no longer a choice but a necessity for businesses looking to remain competitive. This year highlighted the importance of embracing digital transformation to streamline operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth.
2018-2019: The Rise of the Industry Renaissance
The next phase of the forum’s journey, 2018 and 2019, introduced the concept of the Industry Renaissance.
- In 2018, under the theme “Beyond Digitization: Industry Renaissance,” businesses were urged to look beyond mere digital adoption and embrace a new era of innovation and collaboration. This marked the beginning of a deeper integration of advanced technologies into product development and manufacturing.
- 2019 brought forward the theme “Sustainable Innovation & Sustainable Business for a Sustainable World,” emphasizing the crucial role sustainability plays in shaping the future. As environmental concerns grew, the forum explored how businesses could adopt sustainable practices to align with global sustainability goals.
2020-2021: Experience is Human and Relationship
As the world faced unprecedented challenges in 2020, the forum took a more human-centred approach with the theme “Experience is Human.” This year, the focus was on using technology to enhance experiences, fostering resilience in businesses and individuals alike.
The theme in 2021, “Experience is Relationship,” built on this foundation by emphasizing the importance of relationships—both between businesses and customers and within ecosystems. Collaboration and co-creation became the focal points, as the forum highlighted how stronger partnerships could lead to mutual success.
2022-2023: Virtual Twin for Sustainability
In 2022, the forum embraced the power of the Virtual Twin Experience with the theme “Virtual Twin Experience for Resilience & Sustainability.” As businesses faced increasingly complex challenges, the virtual twin emerged as a critical tool for simulating real-world scenarios, predicting outcomes, and reducing waste. The concept of resilience was intertwined with sustainability, demonstrating how virtual twins could revolutionize operations across industries.
2023 built upon this foundation with the theme “Experience the Virtual Twin for a Sustainable Economy.” This year’s discussions focused on how virtual twins could help businesses create a sustainable economy by enabling more informed decision-making, optimizing resource use, and enhancing product life cycles.
2024: Generative Experiences – Shaping the Generative Economy
In 2024, the 3DEXPERIENCE Forum India introduces a bold new theme: Generative Experiences, marking a significant shift toward the Generative Economy. As Dassault Systèmes partners with its customers, the forum will explore how the convergence of the Experience Economy and the Circular Economy is driving industries toward a regenerative, sustainable future.
The Generative Economy represents a radical departure from the linear “take, make, consume” model of the past. In its place, we are embracing a regenerative approach where virtual worlds enhance the real world. This theme goes beyond optimization, asking industries to imagine new possibilities and create offerings that are not just sustainable but differentiating.
Dassault Systèmes is at the forefront of this metamorphosis, empowering businesses to use virtual twin technology to test, simulate, and refine their innovations in the virtual world before implementing them in the real one. This shift from product to experience and from ‘things to life’ is not just a technological evolution—it’s a shift that will redefine how we live, work, and interact with the world around us.
