Siemens providing 1,400+ startups with access to its Xcelerator portfolio of software and services.

Description:
Siemens Digital Industries Software and MaRS Discovery District, a Toronto-based innovation hub, partnered to provide over 1,400 Canadian science and technology companies with access to Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio of software and services to support and accelerate the development of autonomous and connected vehicle technologies. Some of the products being offered in the portfolio include software for 3D CAD, simulation, and design management.

Analysis:
The rise of autonomous and connected vehicles is changing the way the vehicles are designed, manufactured and tested. The design and simulation software provided by Siemens will help companies in the MaRS ecosystem conduct early design development and advanced verification of autonomous function and performance systems.

Startups at the forefront of innovation encounter complex design challenges. It’s vital they have a foundation of digital technology that enables expansion and growth as company needs evolve. Having data management and simulation tools they can use from the beginning of their journeys, which can enable traceability, collaboration and early design validation, can improve product delivery and success. Siemens’ industry-leading technology can help the MaRS community to speed innovation in the areas of autonomous and connected vehicle development. – Steve Crowe
