Stéphane Déchelotte

Chairman & CEO
ProSim

CEO and co-founder of ProSim, a software company offering simulation and optimization software that enables process industries (that physically or chemically transform matter) to improve their operation, increase their profitability or reduce their environmental impact.

ProSim is today at the heart of the two challenges that the industry must meet to remain competitive: the digital transition and the ecological transition. Whether it’s a digital twin that is talked about a lot in the context of the “factory of the future” or reducing the carbon footprint and energy transition, ProSim offers the technological building blocks that are essential to build the high-performance tools necessary for “industry 4.0”.

The modeling of (continuous) matter and its physical and chemical transformations is complex. Compared to the modeling of (discrete) manufacturing processes, the complexity of the mater itself and the numerous phenomena to be taken into account to have a realistic representation, add a level of difficulty which means that very few players are able to develop relevant models. ProSim is one of them.
