Dassault Systèmes is partnering with UNESCO and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations to highlight the value of virtual twin experiences in driving responsible and transformative business practices that advance the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

From March 2025-March 2026, the World Engineering Day hub is showcasing Dassault Systèmes and its commitment to contribute actively to SDGs 4-Quality Education, 12-Responsible Consumption & Production, and 13-Climate Action by supporting customers and nurturing academic and research ecosystems.  

In a video created for WED, thought leaders cite industrial examples highlighting the role of virtual twins across manufacturing, infrastructure and cities, and life sciences and healthcare, thereby enabling companies in these sectors to adopt a sustainable innovation approach to progress toward climate goals.  The video also highlights the role of education in shaping the next generation of engineers with in-demand virtual twin skills.

Throughout the next year, Dassault Systèmes’ insights and expertise will be highlighted in WED’s overall campaign of events, films and articles aimed to raise awareness of the importance of engineering.

The partnership coincides with the 80th anniversary of UNESCO, the 10th anniversary of the SDGs, and the 4th anniversary of Dassault Systèmes’ signature of the U.N. Global Compact.
