An Accelerator Program for Startups
As part of the overall 3DEXPERIENCE Lab initiative, Dassault Systèmes´ accelerator program for startups will help facilitate and nurture disruptive product innovation. Along with other qualification criteria, program participants must have legal startup status. Their physical products must be able to be developed using 3D technologies and must address at least one of the following six themes: City, Life, Lifestyle, Internet of Thing, Ideation and Fablab. Throughout the program, selected startups will have access to Dassault Systèmes´ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, technical skills and mentoring - the same content, technology, applications and expertise that have transformed the design, engineering and manufacturing of most of the products society relies on today. In addition, Dassault Systèmes´ worldwide ecosystem will help accelerate the startups´ product launches and international presence.
Addressing Different Domains
At Dassault Systèmes, enabling businesses and people to harmonize product, nature and life has been our mission. It is core to our business. Through the creation of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, innovators all over the world are invited to join us in this mission. By combining the dreams of entrepreneurs with Dassault Systèmes´ deep experience as an innovator in all areas of industry, we have a unique opportunity to look at the world differently and work together to transform it. This is why we are focused on a broad range of projects that aim to create new experiences to positively impact society.

LIFESTYLE
The day-to-day way in which we live, work and play is a reflection of who we are as individuals and as social beings living in a unique time and place. It is often forged by a quest for both pleasure and self-expression. But how can we ensure the lifestyles we lead today bring us a sense of satisfaction, well-being and belonging while ensuring a pleasurable and abundant life for future generations?

INTERNET OF THINGS
The Internet of Things is a phenomenon in which billions of everyday objects are being equipped with sensors, processors and communications devices to share data across the Internet or other networks. The resulting flow of intelligence is giving rise to wholly new consumer experiences and business models, and bringing automation, increased efficiency, accuracy and safety to nearly every industry.

FABLAB
The FabLab theme is devoted to understanding and supporting the Maker/Fab/Hacker movement. Our goal is to create the physical and digital spaces to explore this social movement, and to enable ourselves and others to innovate through design and manufacturing. Together, we believe we can move closer to an economy that is at once successful, meaningful, and sustainable.

IDEATION
How do innovations come to life? Where does inspiration come from? Can the process be digitized? How are mobile technology, social media, sensor data and the Internet changing the ideation process? Are there new technologies that can facilitate brainstorming, better separate the wheat from the chaff, and more rapidly bring winning ideas to life? These are the questions at the heart of this theme.

DIGITAL ORTHOPAEDICS
Have you been in a situation where a generic treatment did not work very well for you or someone you know? Have you ever had that nagging feeling that maybe the doctor (as good as he or she may be) should really be treating YOU rather than a generalized representation of you?
Biomodex: Organ Twins
With studies estimating the annual number of deaths due to medical errors in the hundreds of thousands, the time has come to revise the way the medical profession gains knowledge and experience. Advances in 3D printing technology and virtual simulation are creating new opportunities to improve the quality of treatments and patient safety.
3DEXPERIENCE® CENTER
Aerospace companies are in the vortex of turbulent times.The speed and skill with which they adopt to the tumult will determine their fate. How can we help your aerospace company deliver more affordable products faster? How can you more efficiently integrate simulation and certification at every phase of a program to reduce costs and minimize risk?
3DEXPERIENCE® BOSTON FABLAB
We can see all around us that world is changing fast and the entry barrier is reducing, machines are getting more affordable. Those were only for professionals are now more accessible to all with Cloud software. Our audience is then extending from professionals to amateurs, the world of makers (DIY).
Ultrascope
Hunting for asteroids just became more accessible thanks to Open Space Agency's (OSA) Ultrascope, an automated robotic observatory that anyone can fabricate using a 3D printer. Budding astronomers receive, for as little as 750 USD, a starter kit containing the necessary components and the 3D models to print the chassis along with instructions to assemble the components together.

-
Is the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab a new initiative of Dassault Systèmes?
Yes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is a new initiative of Dassault Systèmes. But, the company has a long standing history in supporting innovation with leading 3D virtual technologies. Combining existing initiatives that yielded such disruptive projects such as the Living heart, BioIntelligence, and Rennes Metropolis and establishing the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab was a natural evolution. With one global lab, Dassault Systèmes can focus its efforts and enable innovators everywhere to look at the world from a new perspective.
-
What kinds of projects will be considered for the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab?
Every project must have the following criteria, they must:

- be a breakthrough/disruptive innovation in terms of products or services and
- have an impact on society
-
Is the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab only a startup incubator?
No, the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is more than just a startup incubator. The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is an open innovation laboratory aimed at transforming society collaboratively and socially. However, as part of the overall initiative, Dassault Systèmes has also launched a specific accelerator program for startups that will help facilitate and nurture disruptive product innovation. Each project may have a startup incubated by the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, but it is not essential. Thus, a project may also exist without having a startup (ie. The Open Source Drones project).
startup having a breakthrough idea falling within the scope of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab can submit a new project. Thus, the startup incubator is an important component of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab. -
Who is the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab´s audience?
The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab welcomes innovators from any of the following categories:
- Startups - Entrepreneurs
- School incubators, students
- Independent professionals: Makers - Designers
- Industrial innovation departments
- Research laboratory
-
What is the geographic scope of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab?
