In the heart of Nanjing, Dassault Systèmes CEO Pascal Daloz witnessed the unveiling ceremony of the plaque for “DASSAULT SYSTEMES (NANTING) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES CO., LTD.” — marking not just the launch of an industrial software hub, but a cross-continental commitment to reshape the future of intelligent manufacturing.

This is more than just the opening of another foreign investment project. It’s a defining step forward in China’s push toward a digitally empowered industrial ecosystem. A symbol of mutual trust and shared ambition, this collaboration is about building global solutions with local roots — and turning vision into velocity.

“In China, for China, with China.” That’s not just a tagline for Dassault Systèmes — it’s a philosophy.

Nanjing, with its deep industrial base, tech-savvy talent pool, and growing reputation as a digital innovation hub, offers the perfect launchpad. From early economic exchanges between France and Nanjing in the 1980s to initial talks with Dassault Systèmes in 2023, this has been a partnership years in the making — and now, it’s ready to scale.

The newly established Nanjing entity is set to become a key delivery and service center for Dassault Systèmes’s operations in China, focused on digital twin applications, sustainable production systems, and next-gen industrial software solutions.

This move reflects a broader shift: China’s advanced manufacturing isn’t just about speed or scale — it’s about smart, green, and globally integrated growth.

Nanjing is positioning itself as a nerve center for that transformation. And with Dassault Systèmes now part of its digital economy story, the city is making a clear statement: Nanjing is here to co-create the future with the world.

As we look ahead, one thing is certain — when innovation meets trust, when global expertise meets local momentum, progress isn’t just possible. It’s inevitable.

Let’s build it, with Nanjing together.
