Are you ready to talk?

TECHNIA INNOVATION MORNING

Your engineering environment. Built for the next race.

Date: 28 May 2026
Time: 09:00-14:00 (Lunch included)
Location: Parabolica Racing Restoration Facility, Het Klaphek, 3401 RZ, IJsselstein

Ready for pole position? 

An iconic race car from the past cannot compete today. It requires modern materials, advanced simulation, integrated electronics, and real time data intelligence.

Engineering teams are no different. They cannot compete when they rely on isolated file based CAD, fragmented data, manual handovers, and disconnected simulation. The question is not whether your current CAD works. The question is whether it is built for the next race. 

Secure your seat at this exclusive event and stay ahead of the race. Limited capacity. Registration required and subject to confirmation.

What you will gain

  • Real-world insights from leading organizations
  • A clear view on the shift from CAD tools to engineering platforms
  • Practical guidance on improving engineering performance and collaboration
  • Examples of how to move from fragmented tools to a connected environment

Join Olivier Sappin, CEO of CATIA, and Ernest Knoors, Parabolica owner, Viaplay Analyst and former Head of operations customer teams of F1 engineering, for an exclusive Innovation Morning event.

Learn how leading teams are moving from disconnected tools to a connected engineering platform, and what that means for performance, speed, and competitiveness.

Why this matters now

Engineering is becoming multidisciplinary, software driven, AI supported, and globally collaborative. Most teams are not built for this shift. This event shows what needs to change and how to move forward.
