What is your mission?
Our mission is to provide software solutions to optimise the computer-aided design chain. Within this industrial software chain, we offer solutions at all stages of the design process. In the initial stages, we enable the automation of the link between the CAD model and the design, thanks to our innovative meshing technologies. In the final stages, we help engineers to share their results and understanding of phenomena in order to arrive at a reliable result. Our ambition is to help improve the accessibility of the design process in industry, with the aim of enabling everyday use by all.

What is your speciality?
Our innovation capacity. DIS TENE was established in 2004 and has been working with IN RIA (French national computer science research institute) for over 15 years, which means that our software components are the fruit of hundreds of manyears of research. The added value we offer relies on our capacity for maintaining excellence.

How is your position within the Teratec (in Essonne, to the south of Paris) cluster strategic?
TERATEC is a European cluster supported by the CEA DAM-Île-de-France (French Atomic Energy Commission Military Applications Department, Paris Region) which brings together the different players in high performance digital simulation. It is the Silicon Valley of our sector. It enables us to work on joint, defining projects within a focused, richly collaborative environment. We also participate in different projects as part of the Systematic Paris-Region cluster: IOLS, EHPOC, OPEN HPC. For us, these projects really boost growth and business opportunities.
