15.07.2026, 08:00 - 17:15 UhrHow is Artificial Intelligence transforming the way we develop, test, and validate products? And how can we move from promising pilot projects to robust, user-ready solutions in industrial practice?
The AI & Data-Driven Simulation Forum brings together leading experts from industry and research to address these questions. The focus is on the next evolution of engineering: the intelligent integration of simulation, data, and AI into seamless, learning-driven development processes. While traditional engineering approaches are often sequential and iterative, data-driven methods enable a fundamental shift: Designs are no longer just validated – they are continuously optimized, automatically generated, and data-backed.
The combination of physics-based simulation and AI opens entirely new possibilities: from drastically accelerating complex analysis and using surrogate models to continuous optimization in “Closed-Loop Engineering.”
Yet despite this huge potential, many companies struggle with limited tool interoperability, poor AI integration into established workflows, missing standards, and low trust in AI results – leaving impressive proofs of concept stranded outside everyday engineering.
This is exactly where the forum comes in.
Together, we explore how innovative approaches can be transformed into scalable, robust, and user-friendly environments that integrate seamlessly into real development organizations. The forum addresses the full spectrum of development challenges for on-road and off-road vehicles – spanning automotive, transportation, agriculture, construction equipment, special-purpose vehicles, and mobile robotics. Topics range from CAE-driven development to virtual validation and certification workflows for automated and software-defined vehicles and mobile machineries.
