With the level of environmental degradation caused by current production models and with consumption reaching a point of no return , it is increasingly clear that we must take urgent measures to prevent drastic climate change and irreversible damage . It ´ s necessary to act quickly .

That ’ s the reason why the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) have identified a wide range of goals for companies and governments to achieve by 2030 , in a clear urgent appeal to engage them in the protection of the planet .
However , in order to make these challenges doable , the world needs innovations and radically disruptive technologies . After all , the old approaches were not enough to achieve a circular , zero-carbon economy over the past few decades .
It is increasingly more important for manufacturers to seek real ways of transforming their production models , in order to boost sustainability throughout the whole product innovation chain , from the concept to its end-of-life recycling . The future of industry and product development must necessarily take this commitment to a truly sustainable and collaborative system .
In this scenario , we can point out that the 3D simulation and Virtual Twins technologies can be the great levers to create an environment where sustainability and the circular economy can flourish , implementing transformations that both , industry and design , need . great opportunity for innovating , helping companies from different segments to improve the way they grow and operate . Also , according to the forum ’ s projection , the market for virtual modeling solutions , for example , is expected to grow at a rate of 36 % over the next five years .

The future of industry and product development must necessarily take this commitment to a truly sustainable and collaborative system .
This is due to the fact that these solutions allow the creation of safer test environments for the development of products and for the implementation of innovations with less impact on the environment .
The good news is that these solutions are already available on the market today , with an estimated market of US $ 5.4 billion , in 2021 – according to reports from the World Economic Forum . This is a
With a powerful digital development platform , companies are able to accurately predict the properties of materials that have not yet been synthesized or tested based on real-world parameters , simulate and execute virtual models using experimental data , instead of relying on existing models or mathematical equations , in addition to developing specific processes and systems to reduce impacts on the planet .
