7.8.2023 20:39:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, driving digital transformation and sustainability, has opened entries for its highly anticipated AVEVA Process Simulation Academic Competition. The competition serves as a platform for engineering students in North America and Europe to demonstrate their process simulation skills and offers the chance to secure an internship at AVEVA or take home a cash prize of $3000.
The contest is open to students residing in the US, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Norway, and EU.
The annual AVEVA Process Simulation Academic Competition is an exceptional opportunity for chemical engineering students to enrich their process simulation skills using the latest technology.
Participants are invited to tackle real-world sustainability problems using AVEVA Process Simulation, the new paradigm in process engineering. Even students with no prior experience can dive into this easy-to-learn software to unlock their potential.
Mihaela Hahne, Sr Director Sales Development – Academia at AVEVA, said, “As an industrial software provider, AVEVA is committed to inspiring chemical engineers to help solve the world's sustainability challenges from the early stages of their careers. The 2023 AVEVA Academic Competition is designed to encourage students to develop professional skills and solve real-life engineering problems.”
AVEVA’s competition plays a significant role in developing a new generation of engineers, alongside achieving its goal of driving sustainable and inclusive industrial growth.
In 2021, the AVEVA Academic Competition attracted more than 100 entries. A total of 46 teams of four individuals each, and 32 individual students from 20 universities across North America entered the event that year. In the same year, 59 individual students and 53 teams of four entered the same contest from Europe.
Hahne added, “We have witnessed some remarkable achievements in previous years. We believe that by partnering with the universities, we can help design and build a sustainable future together. Today's students will shape the future of our planet and tackle the challenges presented by a changing climate.”
Lea Scharli, Simulation Support Engineer at AVEVA said, “The AVEVA Process Simulation Academic Competition is a great opportunity for students to work on real problems and gain insight into the possibilities of process simulation. Having participated in the previous edition of the competition, I was challenged to put my theoretical knowledge from university into practice – which has now led to me working at AVEVA as an engineer! Through this program, AVEVA supports students professionally and personally, and opens several avenues for progression. The potential is endless with AVEVA Process Simulation. Engineers and users can implement their own models, which enables us to work freely and solve problems creatively.”
This year’s challenge concerns the production and transportation of hydrogen in a clean and sustainable manner. Students will use the same tool currently deployed by the biggest chemical companies. Experience using the same software as potential employers puts participating students ahead of their peers and enhances their professional profile.
AVEVA Process Simulation is cloud-enabled software used to design and optimize equipment, processes and plants. Groundbreaking ease-of-use and simple data connections allow engineering teams to evaluate more ideas, faster. Greenhouse gas metrics built directly into models help put sustainability at the heart of process engineering.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
