Dessia Technologies, a startup specializing in the automation of engineering processes through artificial intelligence (AI), has announced a €3 million funding round. Led by Matterwave Ventures, Supernova Invest, and Orano Venture Fund, this financing will enable the company to accelerate its international expansion and strengthen its technical and commercial teams.
Automation at the heart of industrial transformation
In a context where industries must reduce costs, speed up time-to-market, and improve environmental performance, Dessia aims to become a strategic partner. Its Generative Engineering software platform, powered by AI, is designed to optimize engineering processes by automating complex tasks, thereby shortening the development time for new products.
Already adopted by major industrial players such as Renault, Safran, Alstom, Boeing, Valeo, and Naval Group, Dessia has positioned itself as a key tool for increasing the efficiency of engineering departments. “Our ambition is to become the global leader in the automation of engineering processes,” said Jean-Pierre Roux, CEO of Dessia. 
A lever for international expansion
This new funding will allow Dessia to continue its international rollout, starting with Europe before expanding to other markets.
The company has also established a strategic partnership with Orano, a specialist in nuclear materials, to integrate generative design solutions into its engineering studies. With these tools, Orano aims to improve the design and performance of its complex systems through automation.
Strong support from investors
Investors, confident in Dessia’s potential, see it as a key player in industrial transformation. Robert Gallenberger, Partner at Matterwave Ventures, stated: “Dessia’s technology will have a much longer-lasting impact than the automation of financial processes we see today.”
For François Breniaux, General Partner at Supernova Invest, Dessia perfectly embodies disruptive innovation in the industry: “We are proud to support this new phase of international growth.”
Orano Venture Fund, a key player in the funding round, shares this vision. David Claverie, CFO of Orano, emphasized: “Dessia’s advanced technology has already proven its effectiveness and holds significant potential for application in nuclear engineering.”
Dessia, a rising star in industrial engineering
Founded in 2017, Dessia develops an AI-powered software platform that enables industrial companies to create and use customized business applications to automate their engineering processes. Its technology, adopted by companies in the automotive, aerospace, rail, and naval sectors, significantly reduces development time and optimizes designs from the first iteration.
The company plans to strengthen its technical teams by hiring backend and frontend developers, designers, and data scientists to support the development of new features for its platform.
