      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
Hi, I&#8217;m Matts Verkest, currently working as a&nbsp;Industry Process Consultant (IPC) at 3DEXCITE. My journey at 3DS began in 2019, starting as a 3D Artist&nbsp;intern&nbsp;until I officially joined the Production team as&nbsp;3D Artist&nbsp;in September of that year. The talented team I was a part of primarily focused on creating marketing visuals for automotive companies with 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN. Here, I learned the ropes of creating engaging visuals and collaborating with agencies and clients alike. I also gained experience in supervision, taking the lead, and handling client communication directly.&nbsp;Within my role as a Creative, taking initiative and exploring tools and new ways to develop cutting-edge solutions for our clients was not only encouraged but also sparked my growing interest to make a meaningful impact outside of creating nice eye-candy.



As I delved deeper into these projects, I was introduced to&nbsp;the PIONEERS initiative, which opened up new dimensions of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This allowed me to engage more actively in the community features and utilize its 3D tools for the first time, also broadening my exposure to diverse clients and industries.



Through hands-on experience and navigating the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, I gained valuable insights and expertise in collaborating closely with clients across different sectors. This included conducting workshops and training sessions &#8211; both online as well as onsite.&nbsp;This journey ultimately led me to my current role as IPC, with the help of Els Van Langenhove as my former team lead in an intermediate role. Under supervision of Tim Rau, this is where I now operate at the intersection of Sales, Production, and R&amp;D as a Tech-Sales professional within an awesome global team with very talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. In this capacity and environment, I thrive on experimenting, providing feedback, offering advice, coordinating efforts, and sharing knowledge.&nbsp;In other words, challenging the status-quo.



Recognizing the importance of spreading knowledge in an engaging manner while continually learning from within and beyond our organization, I started working on an initiative.&nbsp;Unsure on how to build it, I was driven by a passion to foster knowledge sharing, enhance visibility, and promote teamwork on a global scale.&nbsp;I wanted to dismantle barriers between brands and continents, creating a platform that celebrates learning, encourages collaboration, and strengthens connections across our entire organization and beyond.&nbsp;



As it turned out, this perfectly aligned with the vision of the PIONEERS initiative. Therefore, when I discussed this with Stefan Radauscher, who leads the PIONEERS initiative,&nbsp;two ideas converged, giving birth to The Lodge &#8211; a PIONEERS extension



The Lodge opened its doors!



Over the past year, we have embarked on an exciting journey with&nbsp;The Lodge, a vibrant community initiative designed to foster learning, collaboration, and fun challenges within our company.&nbsp;As an extension of the&nbsp;3DEXCITE PIONEERS&nbsp;initiative, The Lodge aims to cultivate innovation and shape the workforce of the future by spreading knowledge and onboarding people onto our diverse portfolio &#8211;&nbsp;even across different brands!



What is The Lodge?



The Lodge serves as a virtual hub where&nbsp;employees from all roles, brands, and experience levels&nbsp;can come together to share knowledge, participate in engaging challenges, and attend insightful webinars.&nbsp;Our goal is to break down silos and create a more interconnected and collaborative company culture.&nbsp;By tapping into teams and offices worldwide, including our experience centers, we are building a community that is well-versed in our company&#8217;s extensive and varied global brand portfolio.



Monthly Challenges and Webinars



Each month, The Lodge hosts a new challenge alongside a series of webinars that are open to everyone.&nbsp;These activities are designed to spread knowledge, promote collaboration, and help employees get to know the wide world of our company better. With each challenge, there&#8217;s are also prizes to be won among which as head prize&nbsp;Dinner On the Boss:&nbsp;a dinner up to 100 euros paid by Tom Acland, CEO of 3DEXCITE.







We greatly appreciate our CEO&#8217;s open support for this initiative, not only by presenting the main prize but also by promoting it through his channels. As a result, you may occasionally see Tom featured in some of the visuals, such as during this BBQ event:







Here’s a look at some of the exciting challenges and webinars we&#8217;ve hosted since the launch of The Lodge. Note that certain challenges have been extended, which has occasionally adjusted our monthly schedule:



Challenge Highlights



We aim to offer engaging&nbsp;challenges that align with each month&#8217;s theme or events, as well as industry-related trends.&nbsp;These challenges are thoughtfully crafted to be both fun and educational, encouraging participants to explore new skills and ideas. By integrating relevant themes and industry insights, we ensure that our challenges are timely, meaningful, and impactful, fostering growth and innovation within our community.



April 2023 &#8211; Challenge 001 Artistry VS. Algorithms







The goal of the first challenge was to create visually appealing posters that highlight the brand&#8217;s portfolio disciplines. These posters needed to effectively communicate the key elements of those disciplines in an engaging and informative manner. However, there was a twist! The challenge was open to both individuals and teams, who could use any software or tools they preferred, including AI. This set up an intriguing competition between traditional (digital) artistry and cutting-edge algorithms.







May 2023 &#8211; Challenge 002 The Generative AI Explosion







Contestants were tasked to design the key visual with AI tools for 3DEXCITE Live&#8217;s next event about &#8220;The Generative AI Explosion&#8221;. To support contestants in this challenge, three training sessions on AI were provided to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge.



September 2023 &#8211; Challenge 003 E-MTB X-Render Challenge







In this challenge, participants created two stunning renders of an e-mountain bike based on a selected reference image from a curated collection of ten made with an AI model. They used the provided bike model and created two renders using different methods: the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and any software of their choice (e.g. Unreal Engine, Blender, Deltagen).



This comparison highlighted differences between our proprietary software and competitors. It was valuable for our R&amp;D team, providing insights into our software&#8217;s strengths and user needs. The challenge included a training session on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for rendering techniques and a shared post explaining how the reference images were created using AI with a synthetic data model. And the challenge concluded by hosting a head to head social media contest to decide the winners!



March 2024 &#8211; Challenge 004 Earth Day Challenge







In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), we held a challenge inviting participants to use their creativity and design skills to craft digital creations embodying environmental awareness and sustainability. They created &#8216;visuals&#8217; addressing specific prompts, using any software, tool, or medium—whether a VR experience, video, or (AI-generated) image.



The theme for that year&#8217;s Earth Day was Planet Vs. Plastics, which served as the inspiration for the challenge.



June 2024 &#8211; Challenge 006 Timeless Creations Challenge







Our sixth challenge in our series has also officially begun! In anticipation of the World of High Precision event (June 11-14, Geneva, Switzerland), we invite people to create high-quality watch renders inspired by the following themes: Pride Month (June), World Oceans Day (June 8th), International Yoga Day (June 21st), World Music Day (June 21st) and Paris Air Show (June 16-22, Paris, France).



July 2024 &#8211; Challenge 007 Summer in Space Challenge







To celebrate World UFO Day (July 2nd), the Moon Landing Anniversary (July 20th), and the AIAA Aviation and Aeronautics Forum (July 29th &#8211; August 2nd), we launched a challenge inviting participants to create a visual depiction of &#8220;summer in space.&#8221; The task encouraged creativity in showcasing the beauty of celestial landscapes and extraterrestrial adventures, with the option to infuse humor. Whether illustrating present-day space exploration or envisioning future space colonies, participants could submit solo or team entries using any preferred software or tools.

      <![CDATA[ 
Over the past few years, sustainability has become a strategic priority that is driving transformation across all businesses, governments and cities – and right across the globe.



It’s easy to see why. The world is grappling with environmental challenges – and there’s increasing demand from consumers for businesses to adopt more sustainable practices. Get it right, and the benefits are huge: responsible businesses not only stand to build more trust with stakeholders, employees and consumers, but they also see a positive impact in terms of engagement, profitability and recruitment.



The path toward a smooth energy transition &#8211; While each and every business has a responsibility to implement sustainable practices in their everyday operations, there’s even greater expectation placed on the energy sector and large-scale ventures to facilitate the transition to green energy – a crucial process if we are going to cut emissions and be able to keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C as called for in the Paris Agreement.



However, the energy transition won’t happen overnight. Recent reports suggests that most heavy industry sectors are struggling to meet even the first-level goals aiming for achievement by 2030.&nbsp;This is a problem.



“It’s crucial we create solutions, because a smooth energy transition underpins every single industry,” said Annette Höglund-Dönnes, Renewable Energy and Materials Lead for the Northern Europe at Dassault Systèmes. “Without access to clean energy, we cannot drive the desired decarbonization.”



Digital tools are key to success &#8211; According to the World Economic Forum, 70% of the sustainability goals in Agenda 2030 can be met by using digital tools to de-risk large capital investments. Similarly, the Swedish industry research and innovation organization Energiforsk recently launched a research program called &#8220;Digitalisation in Nuclear Power&#8220;, which demonstrates how, as nuclear becomes more prominent across Europe, digital tools will be essential to ensure that projects are delivered in time and on budget.



Several European energy giants are prioritizing digitalization and innovation across their energy projects. For example, companies are using digital twin technology as a powerful tool to optimize the design of capital assets, processes and equipment. This is increasing efficiency across the lifecycle from the initial concepts, through to the building, operations and maintenance phases.



A call for collaboration &#8211; Digital tools are also democratizing data and facilitating better collaboration between key stakeholders within organizations and across the energy value chain. Höglund-Dönnes sees this as a very positive step forward: “Collaboration undergoing a transformation,” she said.



A springboard for showcasing success &#8211; Keen to foster even further collaboration between businesses, industries and key stakeholders in energy transition, Dassault Systèmes is leveraging its unique position in the market to run its third Leaders in Business Sustainability event in Europe. This year’s event is on September 19th at the historical Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm, and the all-new format is designed to ensure attendees maximize their knowledge-sharing and enjoy the many networking opportunities.



A focus on four key themes &#8211; This year, there will be sessions on four key themes:



1. The power plan for a smooth energy transition – the panel discusses the technological advancements, collaboration, and transformation needed to expedite the shift towards decarbonization and new energy. Who does what and how?



2. Supply chain resilience – products change, and new supply chains need to be formed. In a fast-moving environment the key ability is to adopt to new needs and be prepared to meet the demand. Business sustainability relies on resilient supply chains.



3. Sustainable Innovation: Clean transportation and the future of the auto industry. Developing new products, new processes and sometimes new business models is the biggest challenge to stay on track with sustainability imperatives. It also represents the biggest business opportunities for all industries today. In this session, we will discuss how to transform your business by integrating product innovation with sustainable design practices that can help reduce your carbon footprint.



4. How to make the circular economy achievable, scalable and profitable. In this session, Florence Verzelen, Executive Vice President of Industry, Marketing and Sustainability and Philippine de T’Serclaes, Dassault Systemes’ Chief Sustainability Officer at Dassault Systèmes will investigate how, by redefining how you design, manufacture and operate within the circular economy framework, you can not only contribute to a lower carbon footprint but also position your businesses for long-term success.



We have invited a selected number of panelists to share their inspiring journeys in each of these sessions. As well as learning from these stories, attendees will be able to participate in focused group sessions on specific sustainability topics. Our team of experts will guide you through areas like systems engineering, 3D modelling and more.



For those attendees who like to immerse themselves in new technologies, our Innovative Playground will enable hands-on experiences in the virtual world using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.



Attendees can also connect with industry peers, thought leaders and the brightest drivers of sustainability. Mingle with Dassault Systèmes teams, partners and&nbsp;sponsors and build powerful connections that will drive your business forward.



This combination of thought leadership, our playground experience and networking will allow our invited guests to explore the latest new ideas and leave the day feeling inspired and connected. “Leaders from every industry, no matter where they are in their decarbonization journey, will benefit from this event,” said Höglund-Dönnes. “You’ll be able to make new connections, see the latest and greatest new technologies and learn more about how you can help drive sustainability across the value chain to build a brighter future for everyone.”

      <![CDATA[ To date, experience engineering was mostly a concern of functions outside product development such as marketing and sales. However, the arrival of more powerful silicon will drive the arrival of experience engineering within many more categories.

      <![CDATA[ 
Silicon innovation is gearing up as manufacturers outside of traditional client, server, or mobile computing make their products more intelligent and more intelligently.  As a result of increasingly software-enabled product definition, experience design is becoming an integral part of engineering teams.







A systems engineering boss at a leading car OEM told me recently, “We need to focus more on user experience because buttons in the cockpit keep disappearing”.&nbsp;Writing this now using a virtual keyboard on a phone with no wires is literal proof that, “software is eating the world”. But the experience of writing (or reading) something on LinkedIn is not only down to software but also a screen, sensors, a battery, and, above all, a lot of very efficient silicon &#8211; a cyber-physical system that gives us superpowers.&nbsp;



New AI paradigms, along with virtual twins, are powering the innovation of things, such as robots and spatial computers but the engineering of systems is fundamentally powered by the engineering of silicon.&nbsp;This relationship makes advances in silicon a leading indicator for advances in nearly every other industry and there is now a frenzy to build more fabs on smaller nodes to support more diverse instruction sets than ever before.&nbsp;This will have radical consequences for other industries.







In part, the silicon expansion is being driven by government investment into established players, with billions flowing to Intel, TSMC &amp; Samsung from the US CHIPS Act alone (the EU is making a similar play).&nbsp;The flood of investment dollars is also boosting new ventures, such as the Snapdragon X ELITE,&nbsp;Jim Keller’s Tenstorrent, and a wave of in-house silicon being developed by everyone from hyperscalers to car companies.



This progress at the base of the real economy stack will ultimately create a value dividend all the way up.&nbsp;More powerful chips will lead to more capable software, fuelling more intelligent product ecosystems, more responsive services, and more transformative experiences for more people.&nbsp;The progression of economic value coming in the next few years is inevitable but because it’s not yet here, cause and effect are not immediately obvious.&nbsp;How are we going to get organized to deliver this progress, when it will only be observable after the fact?







The impending boost to the experience economy means it’s time to reorganize. To date, experience engineering was mostly a concern of functions outside product development such as marketing and sales. This was mostly a consequence of the explosion of computing triggered by the Internet, to date mostly felt in publishing, advertising, commerce, and business services. However, the arrival of more powerful silicon will drive the arrival of experience engineering within many more categories. Organizational reform is a logical consequence of this evolution of data processing architectures: ECUs in cars give way to high-performance computing and PLC’s in factories give way to processing capable of greater autonomy.







The industries most likely affected in the short term will be those where there is already a lot of computing, albeit on less advanced silicon, which is why we keep seeing demos of smart factories, smart cars, and smart medical devices.&nbsp;However, to deliver the benefits of the new potential, developers need to be able to model use cases across domains and incorporate end-user experience through the stack.

      <![CDATA[ Striving for a strong work life balance and happiness is what inspires Els Van Langenhove to mentor others.
 ]]>
      </description>
      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
Els Van Langenhove is a senior strategist at 3DEXCITE, Dassault Systèmes&#8217; Commercial Innovation brand, dedicated to placing consumers at the heart of every experience.&nbsp;3DEXCITE empowers businesses to transform their digital content to enhance product experiences, and their people to develop innovative solutions and discover their purpose.



The Els Van Langenhove we see today who found her purpose —cheering on her colleagues on LinkedIn, going for a lunch run between meetings, and mastering her morning routine (and writing about it online) —has been years in the making.



How did she get here?



Her journey towards a healthy work-life balance started when she experienced burnout, took eight months off work to recover, and realized she needed to seriously change some aspects of her life.



Van Langenhove is remarkably candid about her battle with burnout in 2021. She wants to share her experience as a way to help others – she isn’t afraid of being judged. Throughout her two-decades-long career, Van Langenhove found herself swept up in the hustle—working tirelessly to progress her career, and battling with a severe case of imposter syndrome.



When it all came to a head years later, triggered by the pandemic, Van Langenhove felt like she couldn’t function. She found herself unable to do the things in her life that she described as &#8220;fundamental.&#8221; From reading books to thinking creatively about her work and even exercising—things that once brought Van Langenhove joy—now all felt difficult to do.



“I had to recover physically and mentally. My brain was fried, and I had to do a full-body reset and learn how to function again,” she said. &nbsp;&#8220;I’d say I am still recovering today, it never ends really, it requires daily action to take care of my mental health.&#8221;



Unfortunately, Van Langenhove is not alone. Today, on average,&nbsp;one in four employees surveyed across various demographics globally reported experiencing symptoms of burnout. But rather than succumbing to its challenges, Van Langenhove used her experience with burnout as a springboard for personal growth and self-discovery.



Today, Van Langenhove is a staunch advocate for her peers at Dassault Systèmes. Not only does she work to cultivate meaningful relationships and connections through mentorship, but she also applies this approach to others throughout her extensive network.



Through practices like meditation, journaling, and mindfulness, she maintains balance in her life and radiates a sense of inner peace and clarity—even during a hectic workday.

“Practicing meditation and mindfulness is a small reminder of what’s in my control and outside of my control,” Van Langenhove said. “Right now, my daily affirmation is: I attract people into my life who make me feel loved and supported.”



And in turn, Van Langenhove is trying to put that same love and support back into the universe.



Nurturing her well-being and encouraging others to do the same  



Van Langenhove’s career journey is a testament to her resilience and passion for growth. Each step along the way has shaped her into the dynamic individual she is today.



Learning from her own experiences, Van Langenhove has grown into a more mindful leader and people-centric strategist. She’s focused not only on her performance and deliverables but also on supporting the career development of her peers and promoting a healthy work-life balance.



While some of these tasks may feel ancillary to some leaders, she takes them in stride, seeing every opportunity that passes her desk as a way to foster new and unique relationships. By transitioning to the strategy team at 3DEXCITE, Van Langenhove found her niche, where she passionately advocates for employee well-being and empowerment.



At 3DEXCITE,  Van Langenhove can flex her people skills through networking and strategic communications. She has quickly become the go-to resource for her colleagues and 3DEXCITE partners seeking honest solutions, showcasing her abilities to build trust and foster the success of others. In this role, Van Langenhove can advocate for others, while leading the brand’s thought leadership initiatives and staying true to the 3DEXCITE brand identity of strong character, being a pioneer, being authentic and being human.



“We all need to nurture our four bodies and take care of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health in order of priority” she said. “Unfortunately, I had to learn this the hard way, but now I do what I can to share this way of living.”



Mentorship and leadership: Guiding lights



In 2022, a mentor of Van Langenhove encouraged her to become a mentor as well. Realizing that she had a valuable lesson to share from her experience with burnout, she decided to give it a shot.



Now, Van Langenhove can be found devoting her time to ensuring everyone at Dassault Systèmes can feel uplifted and supported, just like how her mentors have made her feel.



“Mentoring is not just a professional transaction; it&#8217;s a journey of personal and collective growth,” Van Langenhove said. “When done right, it can only lead to positive outcomes for business and each other.”



As a mentor, Van Langenhove’s impact extends far beyond her personal achievements.



Her dedication to fostering meaningful connections and providing guidance to others underscores her belief in the power of mentorship to shape lives and careers, emphasizing the importance of pairing mentors and mentees appropriately and dedicating sufficient time to understand each other&#8217;s needs and challenges.



“As with every relationship in life, you cannot expect one person to fulfill all of your needs,” Van Langenhove said. “I think everyone should have different mentors for different aspects of their lives—I know I do; I call it my ‘Personal Advisory Board.’”



In her leadership role and as a mentor, Van Langenhove embodies the values of inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration. Through her actions and words, she inspires those around her to strive for excellence and embrace their unique strengths.



“What is your value proposition in life for you as a unique human being?” Van Langenhove asks. “For everyone, this is different. But for me, as a manager and a mentor, I can only hope to get this out of those I work with and guide.”



Celebrating Els&#8217;s journey



With boundless enthusiasm and a vision for a brighter future, Van Langenhove remains steadfast in her mission to create a workplace where well-being, mentorship and innovation thrive hand in hand.



For Van Langenhove, there’s a deep understanding that work-life balance is a privilege that not everyone has but something we can all work towards by goal setting.



“I don’t make any long-term plans. Instead, I choose one word a year and focus on that word for the year,” Van Langenhove said. “This year, my word is happiness. Happiness doesn’t happen naturally, and it requires some work. This year, I will dedicate time and put in the work to set myself (and those around me) up for a lifetime of happiness.”



Els Van Langenhove isn’t the only one helping reshape the world of work. Check out some of the other humans driving progress.

      <content:encoded>
      <![CDATA[ 
At one of the most highly anticipated tech industry events in recent memory, NVIDIA GTC, Dassault Systèmes was today featured as part of the keynote address from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, who included a demonstration of the latest refinements to the 3DEXCITE portfolio for generative AI-enhanced content creation. The audience saw an interactive product demo, featuring a scientifically accurate product representation staged within a visually stunning environment, summoned by a simple written prompt.







Watch the replay on NVIDIA On-Demand



Keynote viewers saw a Hyundai IONIQ 6 &#8211; displayed accurately down to the exact wheelbase proportions and trim colors of the physical car &#8211; shown in a variety of settings and angles that can be conjured and adjusted through ‌text commands familiar to AI users. For manufacturers and marketers seeking to tell an authentic story that resonates with their users, the value of this technology is immediately clear.



Creating these generative AI experiences requires an ecosystem of expertise and technologies, including NVIDIA Edify-powered models, trained by Shutterstock on its licensed creative data and used as NVIDIA Omniverse APIs for real-time experience rendering. This adoption of NVIDIA technologies has enabled Dassault Systèmes to accelerate product commercialization with generative storytelling. You can see these exciting capabilities showcased on stage for yourself:&nbsp;







Accessible as a web service with an initial focus on the automotive sector, the 3DEXCITE team’s collaboration with NVIDIA aims to transform how businesses generate accurate content about their products at an industrial scale. The 3DEXCITE team’s mission is twofold – first, to enable compelling product visuals through generative AI-based staging, and second, to ensure accuracy by integrating with the product’s virtual twin.



For example, car manufacturers can now better explain a complex suite of driver-assist safety features in visual settings tailored to specific audiences and driving situations – whether shown at night on a country road, or during a rain-soaked city commute. Drivers in Alaska are going to value a car’s interior heating systems much differently than drivers in Florida, and manufacturers must personalize the visuals that accompany these differing messages.



Equally important, this capability developed in collaboration with NVIDIA will produce images that are not only visually stunning but also 100 percent accurate based on the engineering specifications found in the product’s virtual twin on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Through this two-pronged focus, we are committed to providing the best capabilities with zero compromises to our customers – boundless capabilities for creativity, combined with the product authenticity and trustworthiness their users expect.



This latest milestone for commercial use cases of generative AI will have broad applicability across every industry, creating a pathway for Dassault Systèmes’ customers to present rapidly changing product features to an extremely diverse audience. The value of continuity between engineering and experience has never been stronger thanks to the momentum of generative artificial intelligence, and businesses of all sizes have recognized this inflection point and are looking for ways to harness this exciting wave of innovation.



The Dassault Systèmes vision for a generative economy



So where does generative storytelling fit into the future of business? Dassault Systèmes believes the 21st century will be defined by a convergence of the Experience Economy and the Circular Economy, creating a sustainable model that we call the Generative Economy.&nbsp;



Virtual twin experiences will be at the heart of this transformation, enabling businesses to imagine novel solutions, test what-if scenarios, and measure the impact of any decision before implementing them in the real world. A sustainable business strategy requires manufacturers to do more than create experiences using fewer resources. They must also ensure what they create is more effective, offering better value and longevity. Innovators and consumers are expecting more than just digital models of what already exists, and the virtual twin experience delivers a data-enriched, evolving 3D model of a product in the context of its usage.











The combination of our science-based virtual twin experiences with generative AI will accelerate product commercialization, and will reshape industries like Transportation &amp; Mobility into collaborative value networks. By integrating manufacturers, services providers, energy sources, cities and citizens through a constant loop of virtual and real, we will have the power to create truly transformative experiences that rely on products extended with digital services, providing a value that grows with use.



We remain committed to pioneering innovative products and methods at the forefront of technology. This marks the beginning of a new era as we actively cultivate a robust ecosystem containing software and service provider partners to realize this vision.&nbsp;
