Altair's Global Academic Program
At Altair, we believe the convergence of simulation, data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will transform the world. And while this era of convergence is only beginning, today’s students will grow up in a world where it’ll be in full effect. We want to prepare teachers and students alike for this coming transformation. Altair and our academic partners are at the forefront of current and future technology, and with their assistance, we can give today’s students the tools and skills to become tomorrow’s innovators, groundbreakers, and world-shakers.

Simply put, Altair’s products made it possible for us to design the lightest vehicle while still being able to handle the punishing obstacles at competition. They allow us to be fully confident in our designs before any real-world testing.

Altair Inspire's design, analysis, and optimization fits perfectly into my curriculum needs.
Hod Lipson | Columbia University
I'm very happy with our Altair Alliance; it's grown from strength to strength and I see it getting better and better. Hopefully, we'll see a lot of our students going out there, utilizing these products, and producing technology we'll all be talking about and recognizing how we moved the process forward.
