Sharing for boosting innovation

The objective we set for ourselves when we started 15 years ago was to develop open-source modeling tech, to better broadcast them to the application architect community. At the heart of our strategy of sharing knowledge to further community goals and objectives, open source has always been the key element to it all, having a strong conviction in the values of sharing knowledge. And that’s why we ...

Le partage comme accélérateur d'innovation

Développer des technologies open-source de modélisation pour mieux les diffuser auprès de la communauté des architectes logiciels. C'est l'objectif que nous nous étions fixé en créant Obeo il y a une quinzaine d'années. Au cœur de notre stratégie de diffusion à large échelle de notre savoir-faire, l'open source est avant tout une affaire de conviction dans les valeurs de partage. C'est pourquoi, d...

Integrating MBSE and Life Cycle Assessment for removing plastics from the oceans

More than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in the oceans every year. If we don’t take action, in 2050, there will be more plastic than fishes in the oceans! Plastic wastes, by taking between 450 and 500 years to be eliminated “naturally”, kill 1 million birds, and 100 000 marine mammals each year. Moreover, during this very very long period it will progressively be decomposed into increasingly...
