Purpose

In response to client demand, Cambashi has launched a new study – titled ‘The AI for Computer-Aided Engineering and Simulation Landscape for Startups and SME Companies.

Deliverables 

This report contains 20 pages focusing on the emergence of startups and disrupters in the CAE/Simulation space and capabilities related to over 120 identified CAE start-up companies.  There is an option to include quarterly updates of the AI database.

Briefing 

A briefing by the architect of the report on the impact of AI on the CAE and Simulation software market, exploring how AI is reshaping the market and its commercial implications

The structure of the briefing will be along the lines of:

‘AI for CAE’ Startup and SME Companies

  • Global demographics
  • Venture capital investment trends
  • Revenues by industry
  • Revenues by physics type
  • AI technology deployments

The briefing can include some customization from your side in order to focus on key areas of interest (as long as the questions can be reasonably answered within the research scope of the report.
