Hub

Digital Engineering

No digital life without digital systems designing tools! The Digital Engineering Hub acts as the catalyst !

Technologies only produce innovative applications and uses thanks to design activities. The variety, complexity and disruptive potential of new technologies are constantly increasing, always maintaining pressure on their related design capabilities.

Moreover, the disruptive potential of current technologies is such that it redefines the relationship that we have to work, social life, business models and processes. Digital transition is one of the Hub’s main priorities.

Therefore, Systematic’s Digital Engineering Hub deals with two essential points: enhancing the emergence and development of new design activities that have been made mandatory due to technological evolution, and supporting the necessary digital transformation of our environment which is being driven by new uses.

The gap between the emergence of new technologies and the availability of related designing environments is a delicate point. The introduction of new designing capabilities is therefore a clearly identified challenge.

The ambition of Systematic’s Digital Engineering Hub is to develop an ecosystem of players capable of meeting this challenge together, by producing adapted designing environments and developing the necessary skills and know-how.

These designing capabilities obviously require computing infrastructures which are able to deliver enough power and storage to supportthese activities. Supercomputers, Big Data, modeling, systems engineering and quantum computing are therefore all main issues at the heart of the Digital Engineering Hub.

Our society is increasingly economically dependent on digital technologies. In order for the society and companies to take full advantage of technological evolutions, designing tools have to be adapted. At the end of the day, they are seen as real competitive advantages for our companies by allowing precious time savings in developments.

This excellence contributes to the improvement of our everyday life, in particular through all the services provided by the State: administration, health, education, security, infrastructure management, either about road, energy or communication networks…

The Hub defined 3 main missions that benefit the whole ecosystem :
  1. Developing a vision :
    • Identifying the emergence of future classes of systems enabled by technological disruptions
    • Anticipating societal and environmental expectations that may have an impact on system classes
    • Anticipating the impacts in terms of business models as well as value chains disruptions
  2. Providing businesses with tools for business transformation :
    • Developing the ecosystem of actors
    • Facilitating the access to funding for collaborative projects in France and Europe…
    • Supporting the acquisition of know-how, the business, the technological shift and the HR issues
  3. Facilitating access to technological platforms

A word from the President

Philippe DULUC, CTO Big Data & Security at Atos, Administrator of several companies

President of the Digital Engineering Hub

« The digital systems we use as individuals or professionals are constantly benefiting from technological innovations that are reshaping our uses, our jobs, our consumption habits, and our lifestyles. They shift our modes of consumption towards use rather than possession. They carry the potential for deeper transformation and optimization in companies. The term “digital transformation” reflects this reality.

Coupled with the increase of international competition, the agility of companies becomes crucial and necessary for their development.

The Digital Engineering Hub keeps an eye on the entire spectrum of digital technologies, anticipating breakthroughs and discussing their potential. Its mission is to promote the development of technologies by bringing their suppliers to the highest level of excellence, but it also consists in supporting companies in the appropriation of these technologies.

The Hub brings together the main technology players in the ecosystem, particularly those involved in the digital transition, to maximize value creation while supporting transformations. »

Hub’s President

Philippe DULUC

CTO Big Data & Security at Atos, Administrator of several companies

Philippe Duluc is the CTO of the Big Data & Security division at Atos. He is a graduate of the École Polytechnique and the École Nationale Supérieure des Techniques Avancées. He began his career as an engineer in the French Army, specializing in cryptology, at the French Ministry of Defense and in the Prime Minister’s office. After 20 years in government service, he joined the private sector starting with France Telecom Orange, then Bull in charge of the cybersecurity offer. Now “Distinguished Expert” in cybersecurity and quantum computing at Atos, he oversees the technological roadmaps of the division’s offerings (supercomputers, cybersecurity, AI, embedded electronics, big data, etc.) by relying on partner ecosystems. He is more specifically in charge of Quantum Computing topics.

Hub’s Co-President

Philippe MILS

Business Development Manager at Thales R&T, Thales Representative at the Steering Group Committee, Digital Transition Senior Expert

He is in charge of the industrialization of Thales R&D results for the benefit of the Thales Group business units. Philippe Mils supports the R&D teams in the definition and execution of strategies for the exploitation of the results produced by the group’s internal and external research projects, both in the project set-up stages and when the technology readiness level is appropriate to consider a technology transfer.

Previously, Philippe Mils worked internationally in the consulting sector for the Model Based Engineering offers at Rational Software, which was the world’s number one software company at the end of the 90’s and purchased by IBM afterwards. He also worked as a freelance consultant for a few years. He is also involved in the EUREKA ITEA cluster steering group committee where he participates in the evaluation of project proposals, the follow-up of projects and also participates in some CAPTECH of the EDA (European Defense Agency).

He is particularly dealing with digital transition issues.
