Strong partnerships are essential to accelerating innovation and delivering meaningful outcomes for our customers. In 2025, Ansys, part of Synopsys, deepened its collaboration with key technology partners across hardware, cloud, software, and materials science to advance simulation-driven design at unprecedented scale.

This year’s Technology Partner Awards recognize organizations that went above and beyond in co-innovation, go-to-market execution, and customer impact. We are proud to celebrate the 2025 award winners and the remarkable achievements that defined the year.

NVIDIA: Partner Growth Award Winner

2025 marked a standout year in our partnership with NVIDIA as we significantly broadened and deepened our collaboration. Together, we delivered graphics processing unit (GPU) solver support across Ansys solvers, powered advanced workflows with NVIDIA Omniverse, and enabled unique customer solutions that combine simulation, visualization, and real-time collaboration.

Our teams went to market jointly, with close alignment between account teams to serve shared customers, such as Krones. The year culminated in a major milestone when Synopsys President and CEO Sassine Ghazi and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang jointly announced a significant expansion of our partnership, setting the stage for even greater innovation in 2026 and beyond.

HPE: Go-To-Market Award Winner

2025 was truly a breakout year for how Ansys and HPE go to market together with enterprise customers. At HPE Discover in Las Vegas, Ansys took the main stage during the “AI at Scale” keynote to highlight Synopsys’ role in the evolving high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) landscape.

The momentum continued with a packed manufacturing roundtable led by Thierry Pienaar, HPE’s chief technology officer for AI and HPC, where industry leaders explored the future of design and simulation. Deep customer engagements spanned industries and companies, including Siemens Energy, GE Aerospace, and healthcare innovators, as well as emerging discussions about simulation and AI.

At the annual Supercomputing conference, Ansys joined HPE and NVIDIA to engage customers, such as Cummins, Ford, Lockheed Martin, and RTX Pratt and Whitney.

AWS: Digital Transformation Award Winner

AWS earned the Digital Transformation Award for its pivotal role in reshaping how Ansys and AWS co-sell, collaborate, and accelerate customer outcomes. Throughout the year, AWS demonstrated a strong commitment to educating sellers across both organizations and enabling a more seamless, cloud-aligned selling motion.

Microsoft: Innovation Award Winner

Microsoft is recognized with the Innovation Award for its trailblazing role in bringing Ansys and NVIDIA together for the Krones bottling project. This effort resulted in a new workflow that combines Ansys fluids simulation, NVIDIA GPUs on Azure, and Omniverse.

The impact of this single project has been extraordinary, leading to blogs and press releases, being mentioned on a Synopsys investor call, a live session at Microsoft Ignite, a demonstration at Drinktec, and planned showcases at Synopsys Converge, NVIDIA GTC, and Hannover Messe. This model is being leveraged to develop future use cases across additional industries and Ansys solvers, highlighting the power of innovation inspired by Microsoft.

PTC: Best Marketing Award Winner

PTC is recognized as our Best Marketing Partner for standout co-marketing contributions throughout the year. From joint activities at the Paris Air Show to the creation of an aerospace and defense digital engineering blueprint, PTC consistently helped elevate our alliance.

Joint demonstrations and a follow-up webinar further strengthened momentum while the Creo Simulation Live and Creo Ansys Simulation webinar showcased Ansys Discovery solvers embedded in Creo to better support computer-aided design (CAD) professionals and highlight the value of shifting simulation to earlier in the design process. PTC’s efforts made our partnership more visible, repeatable, and effective.

QuesTek: Partner Acceleration Award Winner

QuesTek Innovations is recognized for a breakthrough year in integrated computational materials engineering. A long-standing collaborator since our first ICME workshop nearly nine years ago, QuesTek accelerated its impact following the Ansys Granta acquisition and successful customer engagements.

Momentum increased further when QuesTek launched its cloud-native materials design platform on AWS and partnered closely with Ansys account teams to deliver customer-guided interoperability across the Ansys Granta MI materials intelligence platformAnsys Mechanical structural finite element analysis software, and Ansys LS-DYNA nonlinear dynamics structural simulation software. By bridging first-principles materials science with continuum-scale, physics-based simulation, QuesTek has fast-tracked adoption among customer innovators through proactive co-selling and co-marketing.

Corvid HPC: Rising Star Award Winner

The 2025 Rising Star Award goes to Corvid HPC for its rapid growth and impact in the Ansys Cloud Hosting Partner ecosystem. Over the past year, Corvid executed nearly 20 million core hours on its bare-metal platform, representing a 100% year-over-year increase.

Corvid is onboarding an average of one new Ansys customer per week, supported by a deployment process that often enables customers to run their first simulations on the same day. Custom workflows developed by Corvid’s simulation experts have saved customers millions of wall-clock hours, reinforcing Corvid’s commitment to helping Ansys users solve their most complex engineering challenges with exceptional speed.
