From Concept to Performance: AI and Engineering in the Mobility of the Future | 20 November 2025 | BIKiNNOV
On November 20, the BIKiNNOV – Bike Value Innovation Center – Association will host the event “From Concept to Performance: AI and Engineering in the Mobility of the Future”, an initiative aimed at bringing companies, professionals and students closer to the digital technologies and advanced processes that are transforming the mobility industry, particularly the two-wheeler sector.
At a time when innovation is accelerating and companies face the challenge of integrating artificial intelligence, digital design and advanced manufacturing, this event represents a unique opportunity to explore the tools and methodologies already shaping the future of product development.
During the event, specialists from Dassault Systèmes and CADNEA will demonstrate how SOLIDWORKS is evolving to meet current industry challenges. More than just CAD software, SOLIDWORKS today stands as an integrated platform combining parametric design, simulation, cloud collaboration and AI-powered tools, enabling faster development cycles and improved performance of complex products.
Participants will gain direct insights into existing functionalities and what is coming in the next few years, including new automation capabilities, integration with intelligent processes and continuous connectivity to multiple manufacturing systems.
Another key moment will be the presentation on metal additive manufacturing, a technology that BIKiNNOV offers to companies as part of its advanced innovation services.
Metal additive manufacturing enables:
A drastic reduction in development time;
The creation of geometries impossible to produce through conventional processes;
Weight and strength optimization of components;
Cost reduction for short production runs or highly customized parts.
BIKiNNOV integrates this technology into a complete prototyping, testing, validation and industrialization ecosystem, supporting companies in adopting advanced engineering solutions focused on performance.
As a technology and innovation center dedicated to the two-wheeler and micromobility sector, BIKiNNOV positions itself as a meeting point between industry, technology and knowledge.
Through specialized services — from virtual modelling and materials testing to advanced industrial processes — the center aims to support Portuguese and European companies in their technological transition and in the creation of higher added-value products.
